March Give Away

Art Doll
5" x 4"
felt & hand painted face

Normally I give away an original painting each month and the mandatory entry is for you to tell me what that painting inspires in you.  This month I am going to do things a little differently!  I have just designed this new line of dolls and have decided to give one away for this months give away so since I have yet to come up with a name for these new dolls I have decided leave that task up to all of you and make it this months mandatory entry.  I already have a few different art dolls that I make and I call them Oddlings and Oddballs.  You give me a suggestion on what to call these dolls and if you are the winner, I will use your name suggestion and you will win the houndstooth doll pictured above.

22 & 23 ~ 29 Faces Challenge

Still jugging along on this challenge, I actually finished this one yesterday before the challenge ended but it was dark out so I couldn't take the photos til today.

This is my interpretation of Marie Antoinette, famous for saying "Let them eat cake"

This painting is done in acrylics on a 24" x 12" x 1.5" artists wood canvas.

Let Them Eat Cake

24" x 12" x 1.5"

acrylic on wood

Never a girl 

so pretty as she

hair in pink curls

& a bunny called Dee

So happy together

always best friends

no matter the weather

they'd play til the end

A sweet tooth she had

whipped, frosted & candy coated

it all made her glad

& sometimes even bloated

It happened one Sunday

in the morning she'd wake

they'd all hear her say

"Let them eat cake!"
