Pretty Sweet

Sweet Babushkas

As some people probably know I am not really into the pretty girl thing for me..... I think they work really well for other artists but for me - I love landscapes and big pieces to fill a wall - and get lost in....

But I was having fun with doing a step by step here the other day with some Babushka Dolls and using mixed media techniques

With the LSBS Retreat coming up quickly for August.... I asked Cath and Nic whether I could ask people for donations for Uplift - a little organisation I collect bras for to send over the developing countries

The I thought - well how about I make up some packs of two Babushka doll kits to say thanks for peoples kind donation???

Thank you packs

I always do this - go further than I need to - but I also hope that I might see these gorgeous paper dolls popping up on cards and layouts at the retreat........

I printed off the faces (in my mixed media piece I used gesso and paint. But otherwise they are pretty similar........

Then - just because I am me and always go further than I should - I made my Artist Trading cards for the retreat with these little Babushkas

ATCs - Artist Trading Cards

Enough of the ramble....... and my bizarre addictive personality

Have a fun filled Saturday

Love
