Story Book Character Challenge Presenting "The Queen of Hearts" aka Alien Child

Well she is finally finished and this is my Alien child and was a real challenge for me as her face was not going to match who I had in mind so she ended up being the "The Queen" of Hearts, that is. I lean more to sweet, pretty and cute with a vintage style but rather than quit I went with it and gave it my best shot. I can see I am much better in creatively dressing and hairstyling than painting so I put my imagination to work. This was a fun challenge but next time I'm just going to make something I like and not limit myself to a class challenge. She became like homework until I started dressing her then it was fun. lol Now this week I'm off to have some fun and I'm in a mini altered book swap and want to get busy on that which I already  know I will love and can't wait to start. See ya all soon when the next project is in.

Doin' The Happy Dance!

   
                                                                  

WIP Alien Child for Storybook Character Challenge

I just wanted to share my progress on my First attempt at a doll for my Cloth and Clay Doll Group. The last one never was finished as she was just a mess. This child looks way to adult for me but she is what she is, all cloth, gesso and paint. I have never painted a face before and from scratch is a challenge for sure. I'm sure when she gets hair and clothing she will look a whole bunch better. I'm still trying to improve her mouth but..... practice, practice, practice, in time I hope to improve. Back to work May 15th is the Deadline for this challenge.
