Art Doll And SpringGoddess Purse on Etsy

Hello all,

It's been quite a while. I have had some trying times yet I continue to create through it all because I think that creating art is the best medicine for me. I seem to be creating schizophrenically. But surprisingly I end up finishing some projects that I would think would take ions to complete.

What I have learned is that it is better to just go with the flow of creation and listen to my creations message of wisdom and not worry about finishing every single project. Most projects I have found to be therapeutic and to have an endless amount of steps to them. I am learning to be more patient with them and not be so quick to get them over with when I am faced with something that seems impossible to complete.

My husband had these beautiful dresses that were given to him from a friend to sell on ebay about 4yrs ago. I kept asking him if I could use them for fabric since they are not worth any money. He finally gave into my begging and said yes. I created this awesome springtime flower goddess purse from it. I am so incredibly happy with how it turned out! It is listed on my etsy right now.

There is a dark dollie I just listed today that I have been working on for over 3yrs. She kept speaking to me but I wasn't listening. I finally listened to her and gave her the simplicity that she wanted. She only required a few adornments. I attached one of my charms which a sculpted from polymer clay. Which is a evil eye. The other embellishment is a amethyst-like charm. I forgot to mention that she is a two-sided doll.

I hope you enjoy viewing these creations and that they inspire you to create something from the heart!

Art Dolls With Feeling

Here is what I have been up to lately. I finished quite a bit of dolls lately and drawing and a goddess painting as well. I have really been enjoying exploring the world of papier mache dolls. Which are so tactile. I love the stickiness of the paste and the process of applying it onto the base,which is always a recyclable container so it makes me feel really good about contributing a piece of art made that will be biodegradable for the most part.

I opened up another store at ecrater. I have a few dollies there too. A dear friend mentioned it to me so I thought I would give it a whirl. The bunny couple sitting on the couch and the two-side doll with the bright yellow face and stitchy like mouth are on there. Please do take a look and tell me what you think.

I feel so good when a doll is completed. It feels as though they are alive and can communicate to the world.

I was once asked if I would be interested in mass producing my dolls and the answer is no.

Each doll is an original with their own personality and style. They have their own spirit and way of communicating. I just feel that it would be a disservice to the original!

Okay all please do enjoy and feel free to check out my etsy store as well.

Thank you for stopping by! ;>) http://www.darkmoondoll.etsy.com/

ArtDollsZombies andSuch

Almost done with making some of my new dolls. The dolls have been wanting to have accessories so I have been creating little purses and jewelry for them. They seem happier for it. Each of them are two side dolls. Two-sided meaning that they have a whole other side or personality to them.

Just have the dolls to show and not the accessories yet but I have been having a ball.

Next I'll be making some shoes. Please do stay tuned and if you want to see some more of dollies you can go check out my etsy store too! darkmoondoll.etsy.com .

Spooky Jewelry and Things

I am really enjoying making charms and beads for jewelry and now have been practicing making my own jewelry. I will post some soon once they are finished but in the meantime here is some photos of the charms and beads I have decided to put on my etsy store.

Each charm or bead is created using no molds.

I like this because each creation is unique. So if you wear one of these charms or beads within your jewelry you will know that no else has one like yours.

That is the whole reason why I decided to get into making jewelry. I can only wear gold and gold is expensive so I figured maybe I can experiment with polymer clay and hemp twine.

So I bought a book and now I realized that I probably should get thicker twine to make the necklaces and bracelets I envisioned I wanted.

Please do stay tuned for more jewelry and art creations. My mind never stops tinkering on things.

Polymer Clay Skull Beads

I just posted some handmade skull beads on my etsy store. I have some medium sized ones and a whole lot of small ones.

I am selling the little one in lots of 6 and I have five lots for sale.

What makes my beads different from most skull beads is that I don't use a mold so you can always created a unique necklace,bracelet,or anklet with thes beads.

Please do stop by my etsy store to see more. http://www.darkmoondoll.etsy.com/ . I will be posting more beads soon and more dolls as well.

Tribal Purse Evil Eye

Please do come and check out one of the many purses I created.

It is handsewn and I used all recycled fabrics,materials,and I also found a zipper from an old pair of cloth paints to add for closure.

Hope all of you are enjoying the New Year and are not getting hyped up on all this 2012 malarkey! The worst could just be Alien contact. But then again they probably have already been walking amongst us.

Warm Regards,

Trina

Art Doll Frostbita Darkmoon

Frostbita Darkmoon was definitely a labor of love.

She was created by me first creating the cloth body by hand. All of my dolls except for the repaint I do here and there are sewn by hand.

I then painted the body with acrylic paints.

I sewed her sweater dress from recycled wool fabric and a matching hat that is a bit tattered from being in the cold for so long.

Frostbita Darkmoon is a two-sided doll meaning she has two personalities. One is fille with fright the other is content with her life as a ghost doomed to repeat the memories of the tragic evening she parished in a snow storm.
