D is Doll

The new letter for The Craft Barn Alpha/ Dictionary Challenge is D. Being a long time collector of Dolls, I had to go with that. At one point I made nice money selling clothes for the collector dolls and went to Doll Conventions, etc. I have a ton of magazines about dolls so I decided to go with more of a collage theme for this letter.

I used my distress inks for the background and actually used 2 pinks (the color is required) as well as some yellows and oranges. I probably could have done more but this has been one of those weeks where I'm surprised I can still talk and not sound like a blithering idiot! This is when something like this can really de-stress you and my joy of dolls and art really helped!



Thanks for looking. Hope you enjoyed!

  2. LoL...I love what you wrote about dolls not being just for children. I still have my Barbie doll that I got for Christmas when I was 8 years old in 1961. Dolls is a perfect word choice for you.

  5. Lovely for you to be able to display your passion for dolls on the pages. I like the colour combination of pinks with yellow and orange, it works very well. Interesting collage pages. I wish I still had my Barbie doll, she really was a classic.
