Halloween Projects 2, 3 and 4

Halloween Projects 2, 3 and 4 are papercraft projects, so are posted on the other blog: Paper Crafts, Pass It On

31 PROJECTS FOR HALLOWEEN begins today:

Project 1

Here is a hybrid postcard I made for this week's Collage Play with Crowabout. It is referring to another project in the works for my 31 Projects for Halloween.

75 Days until Halloween!

Yes, you read it right. 75 days and a couple of hours (going by my Halloween countdown). I better get busy. Since I can't create as often as I use to, I will be highlighting a few of my favorite Halloween artwork by other artists. If it is a card or scrapbook layout, it will be posted on my other blog: Paper Crafts, Pass It On

Doing Better

I have been feeling a lot better lately, but still need some minor surgery. I will still be posting just a few times a month, but I am getting better. Thanks for all of your kind wishes.
Now on to better topics. I have been doing a lot of digi art lately, and have found a few places on line to learn more techniques. I find I spend more time learning and playing than actually creating.
I also scrapped a page yesterday (physically meaning with paper). It was the first time I had since I became so ill. I think the last time I scrapped a page was in October.
I have 8 photos to scan and repair before I can do the next page though. I am still working on the 80's, and the photos are damaged some. No one even thought about acid free back then.

Golden Lady of the Forest

Class project for beginning digital art.

Terra from Smeared and Smudged and Kelli from Cajun Stamping Queen did a "31 Days of Halloween" project together where they both created a project each day for Halloween. (see haunted house and bouncing pumpkin in the bar on the right side for the links) They also offered a joint blog candy giveaway. Guess who won! Me!!!
Here are a couple of photos of all of the goodies (can you say early Christmas lol):



Thanks you two! Be sure and check out their blogs. They are both very creative artist.

Where Have I Been?

If you are wondering, check out this post from my other blog. It will explain everything.

Handmade Journal

Someone reminded me that I had promised to post this after it was published:

Fairy Art Doll

I was actually doing this for a competition, but I forgot to post it afterwards. Duh.
Oh well, I had fun making her.

Vintage Paper Dolls

Okay, I know this is kind of a paper craft project, but I felt it belong on this blog instead of my other one. I was going to work on an art doll, but I got distracted making these. lol

Information on Art Dolls

I have been asked before for information on making Art Dolls. I decide to compile a list of some of the best resources:
Books:
For Beginners:


For Intermediate


For Advanced

The best magazine for all levels:

Day 8th's Artist on Parade

I haven't posted for a while. There is a reason.
Check out my latest work here:
JADS ARTIST’S ON PARADE: DAY 8 ART ON PARADE: MEET PROFESSIONAL ARTIST, CHAR
and here.
I will post photos of this hand made book on my blog once I can.

First Art Doll

When I decided to use this material from the 60's, I knew I had to make pink Go-Go boots to go with it. It's my first doll, and I had fun creating her. Funny thing how things are classified. I was informed the other day that anything over 50 years old was vintage. This would make this outfit a Vintage Outfit. I guess that makes me a Vintage Woman. lol
