Hello One and All.  If you are coming to this art blog for the first time let me introduce myself.  My name is Trina and I am an artist of many mediums.  I create art dolls,handmade handbags ,purses,paintings drawings,sculptures,paper bead and fabric bead jewelry, fabric dreadlock beads just to name a few things

Today I want to share with you an art doll that I recently posted on my etsy shop.  For those of you that don't know I have an etsy shop where I sell the creations that I have been posting on this blog. wwwdarkmoondoll.etsy.com

So this doll was created purely instinctively like almost all of my dolls are unless I am doing a commission piece for an art collector and that person has specific instructions as to how they want their creation to look. Her name is Fearless Darkmoon and she is a Cloth Horror Art Doll.  She is hand sewn and hand painted meticulously.  She is a two-sided doll.  A two- sided doll is a doll that has two fronts and no back.  So you get two dolls for the price of one.

Her eyes on one side are from river rocks I found at the river nearby where I live.  I am always being inspired by Mother Nature within all the art that I create. 


You may wonder why I named this doll Fearless Darkmoon.  Well look at her.  She has no arms, she is bloody and beaten down yet she continues to move on her life's path. I feel it so symbolic of my life and all of the many trials and tribulations I had to endure in order to get to where I am now.


Thank you for stopping by to read my art blog.  Please do check out my youtube channel under the name Darkmoon Doll where I have a show called Art Talk.  I show you how I create these pieces of art and why I believe that art is so very therapeutic and helpful for those who cannot express themselves verbally.

Hello All!  I want to share with you some of the things I have been working on recently.  During this time of the year I tend to feel low on energy.  I create art everyday in order to lift my spirits.  A lot of the colors that I have been using within my art have been like color therapy for me.

Today I share with you photographs of some papier mache bottle dolls that are available on my shop (www.darkmoondoll.etsy.com), a pair of upcycled recycled pants I have been working on, and an upcycled recycled hand sewn dress that is halfway finished.

I hope you all find a way to stay mellow and calm during this holiday season and feel free to get creative to take away the stress.


Brightest Blessings, Trina

Hello All.  So if you don't know I host a show every Tuesday on my youtube channel under the name Darkmoon Doll.  I like to share step by step tutorials, I talk about why I think it is so important for people to express themselves when they are feeling really extreme emotions like anger or sadness. And I feel that we should express ourselves in a productive way.  

On today's show I share some of the art that I am currently working on and the importance of getting out toxic feelings and anger or else it can manifest into disease if not healed and treated in a kind and compassionate way.


I hope everyone finds time to get out and be creative.  I love to create in Mother Earth if at all possible weather permitting of course.

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything in this blog here. So for the loyal followers my apologies.  I am balancing a lot of different projects at the time that I never thought I would. I want to catch you all up with some of these projects that have been completed and that I am so pleased with .

The first project I would like to discuss with you all is a deck of oracle cards that I designed for a friend of mine by the name of Yvette Smith.  I created 44 cards with 44 different images to express each card. This was unlike anything I have ever did artistically. I must admit that some cards were more challenging than others.  I am very happy with how they are turned out and so is Yvette.  Here is some photos of the cards.  The are for sale on Yvette Smith's etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/250584571/pre-order-special-eye-of-the-seer 

So this deck is on sale on the link above until October 31st after that I believe the decks will be for sale on ebay.  The name of the deck is Eye Of The Seer.

So I am very excited about this for sure.  Please do check it out .

I will be sharing more posts soon.  Thank you for stopping by and feel free to stop by my etsy shop.
