Matroyshka Doll
so over on amusing muses, i'm hosting my very first swap. i really like the swaps with shapes so i've been racking my brain trying to think of one. then i thought of russian nesting dolls, Matroyshka Dolls. so i decided to do a chunky book with this idea. each artist will make five dolls in different sizes. then when i receive them, i'll swap them back out and everyone will receive a different doll for the 5 different sizes. in order to get people that were on the fence to come on over, i made the largest of my 5. she's made with 140lb water color paper, banana tissue paper, text from a floral book, prisma colors, chalk, pastels, ink, and some brass metallic paint. i'm thrilled with how she turned out!

ReplyDeleteHi Lauren! I've been admiring you from AM and it's about time I got to your lovely blog! Wowee! Have to tell you . . . my daughter's name is Lauren and when I saw your http address I laughed out loud. My Lauren is always leaving "Lauren is cool" on the screen on people's cell phones if she can sneak them away - kind of her version of Zorro I guess. So you are the coolest too! Must be a Lauren thing! hee hee
