Found Objects Doll

She was a mermaid waiting to be made from odds and ends that I found around the house and on my desk! This is my first attempt at really making a doll. I think she came out really nice. She is made to be hung on the wall. I kind of wanted to keep her. But, it's for a swap, so out she will go! Have fun at your new home!! I can't wait to see what comes back.

So, from head to fins, she's made out of:
Ribbons
Wires
Vellum Tags
Formica Chips
Metal Stars
Misc Papers
Beads
Metal Square
Used Bottlecaps
Acrylic Paints
Fibers
UTEE
Sequins
Stones
Buttons
Paperclips
Clay

Doors and Windows




So, they didn't scan the greatest, but the images are all stamped onto transparencies (except red spread) then they have alcohol ink behind them, and then a layer or two of white paint so you can see the stamped images. Looks neat in person ;O)

100 one by one inch Collages



I've really lost it this time. I did 100 1x1 inch collages. It was fun though. So this is for a swap, I think there were like 25 or 30 people involved. We all did 100, so I'll get back some of mine and some of theirs. Then I will mount them on something, 10x10 square rows/columns. The swap isn't due until the middle of November, so I'll just have to wait for a while and see what comes back!
