Power doll

Dear friends, I enjoyed making two dolls a while back for a challenge set by Julia Cameron in her book Vein of gold. I decided to make another one. This one reminds me of the personal power I have. I am reading about power in chapter 3 of Julias book The artist way. Thanks for stopping by.

Transfer collage

Dear friends, The challenge was to use a transfer. I used some packing tape to copy an image of a mask which is in bottom right of the collage. I added an image of trees at night and painted over it in black and then added pieces of silver jewelery.

Crazymakers

Dear friends, I have just read chapter 2 of Julia Cameron's book The artist way and she talks about crazy makers. I have just gotten rid of a crazy maker in my life. She was so critical and rude and I was never enough as a friend. i have learnt I am enough just the way i am today. Here is my art work for crazy makers.

Stencil challenge

Dear friends,
Just finished a challenge that was to use a stencil with a collage. Here is the result. Instead of making a stencil I went to the shops and bought one. I had a great time playing with it and did a lot of collages and stencil work. Have you ever used a stencil in your artwork?
