Art Doll 2

My new passion is creating assemblage art dolls from estate sale finds my sister and I go to on Saturdays. We are always on the look out for the left overs and picked over parts of any sale :)

This particular doll started with some vintage wooden toy blocks. What struck me with them, were the way they fit together and their shapes. I used a block from different set to make her head, along with some vintage buttons, vintage folding ruler, vintage ribbon and also a piece of vintage jewelry that I added beads to for her headpiece. I folded origami butterflies from some printed deli paper I made and attached them with wires. Those were attached to a vintage flower shaped button. I used DecoArt paints that my sister let me sample from her own stash and some InkaGold and crackle paint (DecoArt as well) for the body. I used some metal pieces I got from Michael's so long ago, vintage dictionary pages, Tim Holtz stamps, Viva Modeling Cream and even some washi tape. I imagine it would be easier to remember all the supplies I used if I took pics along the way...maybe next time ;) Below are a few different angles to catch a glimpse different mediums I used.
