Cinnamon Pink

It All Started with Polka Dots!

While shopping, I spotted this pink, polka dot tissue paper. I love polka dots. To me, the whimsical pattern represents: Happiness, Fun and Cute.

In fact, I collect all kinds of patterned tissue paper which I use in my mixed-media art projects. If you haven't tried working with tissue paper, start searching for different patterns in Walmart, Target, Stationery and Gift stores. 

Initially, I had no specific plans for the polka dot tissue paper but I knew that I would certainly use it one day. When I began creating this paper mache and paper clay bird, I immediately knew she needed to be dressed in polka dots.

And that's the story of the Pink Polka Dotted Bird!

Wee Fairy House - Cinnamon Pink-Style

For the past few days, I have been working with Creative Paper Clay. Here is one of the pieces that I just completed: a Wee Fairy House - Cinnamon Pink-Style (Pink & Brown).

The Fairy House is quite small, only 2 3/4" tall x 1" wide. Instead of a traditional roof, I made a swirled dollop of a roof. A tiny crown tops the door and a small bead serves as a door handle.

I do like to experiment with many different mediums. And today turned out to be an assemblage/sculpture day for me.
