Currently, I’m taking two Artful Gathering classes.  The classes run until August 25.  I started with Mixed Devotions by Cristina Zinnia Galliher, but I’m changing over to Make Every Minute Count Art Doll with Cat Kerr.  The reason I’m switching…I’m working slower than I thought I would.  Each class offers a DVD of the lessons after the session is over.  Because I’ve enjoyed making the mixed-media bottles so much, I plan on purchasing the Mixed Devotions DVD; so I need to finish up the art doll by August 25, then I’ll have the DVD to finish up the bottles.  Here’s what I’ve done on my art doll project:

I built the base.

I worked on the head and the hands.  I started with a vinyl blank (I forgot to take a picture).

I added decals, crackle and antiquing.

I think she looks neat.

About the photo (taken on August 16)…I took this picture at Whitewater Crossing Christian Church in Cleves, Ohio.  I went there for a Facilities Forum, and in their children’s area, these streamers were hanging down in the colors of the rainbow.  It was very pretty.
