I thought it was time to participate in Illustration Friday again.

Het al in december gekochte schilderslinnen is eindelijk gebruikt waarvoor ik het bedoeld had. Een artdoll van geschilderd linnen. De vleugels zijn gemaakt van een combinatie van geschilderd linnen, katoen en vitrage. De vogel zelf is versierd met kralen en pailletten.
I bought some gesso'd canvas in december. This saturday I used some for a project I had in mind a long time and artdoll made from painted canvas. The wings are a combination of painted-canvas, cotton and lace curtain. The body is decorated with paillettes and beads.

Ik ben zo af en toe weer eens aan het spelen met Illustrator en Photoshop...
Playing with Photoshop and Illustrator every now and than...

Nog een weekje en dan start officieel de lente, het weer doet in ieder geval nu al flink zijn best. Ik raak ook al helemaal in voorjaarstemming!
Next week it will be officially springtime in our part of the world. The weather already is giving it's best and I'm starting to feel really "springy"

As you can see all olmies gathered around Kareltje to give him a bit of comford because of the fact he wasn't chosen to be a possible winner for The Softie Awards
At least not for the compitition place he was entered in...if he was a bunny or a bear, he would have been one of the finalists but since he's not....he's not :(
Needles to say he needed a groupsession because first he though he would be in the finals, and since he's a real party-pooper he already started to do a bit of celebrating...

De laatste dagen heb ik de kleurpotloden weer eens ontdekt en ben daarmee gaan experimenteren. Kleuren combineren die ik voorheen niet zo snel zou gebruiken voor bepaalde zaken, zoals groen, blauw en paars in het gezicht. Eigenlijk raar dat ik dat nooit geprobeert heb want als je goed naar een gezicht kijkt zie je ook in het echt dat deze kleuren daarin aanwezig zijn...
The last few days I rediscovered my coloring pencils again and started experimenting. I combined colors in ways I would not before like green , blue and purple in a face. Actually strange I never did before because when you look well you would see those colors in face in real life also...
A girl is alowed to have some favorite dollmakers and these are surely a few of mine...

Sandra makes beautifull dolls totally my style with lovely colorfull cotton fabrics. Ofcourse I already mentioned her before but she's got this beautiful spring collection I think you definately should check out!
She also keeps a blog where at this moment a hilarious contest is going on: "Germany´s next Top Doll". Go check out and vote!
Suana does a wonderfull job combining fabrics and stitches, the faces of her dolls are stitched like graph-paper wich give them a unique look. I really like the "loose" look mostly because I can't seem to get ride of my neat way of working although sometimes I would like to...
Jennifer makes the most beautiful monsters out of recycled cotton fabrics and that alone would already be a reason to put her on my favorites-list! Ofcourse I also think her monsters are totally adorable and fun!
