Altered Dolls at Craft Room

Well I have never done anything like this before but it was so much fun. I didn't know where to start really but the ideas just kept coming as I went along. What a great idea it is to alter a paper doll and I am pleased that I found Craft Room Challenge. I visited the online shop as well and have ordered a tool for the Distressed inks so I will be able to make a better job with those in the future-hopefully.

Doll before altering-looks as though she needs a make over

That's better! She has got a job in the recruiting dept at the army offices-should do well with this outfit for sure lol.

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
