This weekend, I hosted a workshop where I taught how to make my Paige dolls on a collaged canvas and also my Victorian postcards. Here we are showing our adorable canvas pictures.
Thank you Nily, these are lovely and the music adds a wonderful touch!
Below are lots of pictures: close up shots of each canvas piece and pictures of the girls crafting away.

I just love the character and expression of each doll, all so different and adorable!
The second project was making Victorian postcards. Here are some of the finished projects:
I originally made some of these postcards last October.
We used images from the Victorian Fashions Dover book and some beautiful Anna Griffin tags.
I was so honored to have my pieces published in the Spring issue of Somerset Life 2015.
I love how they all turned out, so beautiful!
And last but not least, I wanted to share a picture from my daughter's ballet recital this weekend. It was a beautiful performance and a lovely way to end the day!
Have a great week everyone!
Thank you Connie for a wonderful class. I was so worried about drawing the doll but your instructions were so clear and easy to follow. Love my canvas and post cards. Enjoyed seeing everyone and all the yummy food and goodies. Connie, you're the best! R

Connie, I will never tire of telling you how much I enjoy your creative energy. The canvas art and the postcard Victorian ladies are beautiful. You are so lucky to be able to share this creative time with your sisters and friends. Love, love, love your art. Thanks for sharing. Shannon Benedetti
ReplyDeleteI adore your Paige doll design. She would look charming as a soft sculpture dolly. Looks like all the ladies had a fabulous time with your creative designs.
