EfemeraInk....

.....met yesterday (Monday) and we finished our paperclay dolls...we painted faces,




stitched on arms and legs and gave them clothes. I decided mine was going to be a bareback rider in the circus.




compltete with stripy stockings which were painted on. Bits of vintage jewellery and scraps of recycled fabrics made up her outfit.








Rubons make fabulous tattoos!





She hasn't got a name .....all suggestions are welcome!

Just Hanging Around...




I've wanted to try this technique for sometime.. it's a variation on the hanging bird only the doll is made up before painting with gesso, because of this it would be difficult to stamp onto so the stamping is done on tissue paper and then glued in place with Golden Gel Matt medium.. it works quite well
The border stamp is a favourite from Zettiology. I love all things Circus at the moment so she was destined to be a trapeze artist

Last Showing.....




This could be the last performance......for a while anyway! Another Zetti stamp with wings from Itkupilli... there's quite a little troupe now! I think it's time for something different.

Roll up! Roll up!




It's the turn of the acrobats! I loved watching the acrobats and the trapeze artists when the circus came to town. This little lady is from the Zetti range called The Tattered Circus Those not liking clowns may have to look away!

The Circus is in town!




Back in my comfort zone... paper, card and wire! All things Circus are my thing at the moment and combined with the wire and things on wheels fetish this little whimsy came into being, the clown image came from Itkupilli... I know some folks don't get along with clowns but I like him!
