Well, as I promised, I will be posting the entire process of creating the Queen of Hearts heart. Before I do so, I also wanted to add to yesterdays passel of news: I forgot to mention that my dolls are featured in this months "Small Town Living" online magazine! It's a great online magazine that features old fashioned, rural and simple living--I think it's just aces, so run over and check it out!
Also, I will be featuring even more dolls in MY online magazine Big Town Farmer! Our upcoming edition will be featuring the Spooky Time Jingles crew! Yes, I know what you're thinking: what the heck am I doing with a magazine? Don't I LIKE sleeping? And, how much dolli-ness can one surround themselves with?? Apparently, LOTS!
Ok, having said that, here is how I constructed Queen of Hearts:
Feel free to click to enlarge!
Measured the heart out. It needed to be 5 x 5"
I am not really good at drawing out sketches before I create the project, but I actually was worried about the strange placement of the crown and such. Since this was really the image that I wanted to add to the heart, I drew directly onto it, using a soft animation pencil (sorry for the poor quality, the camera was acting up this day...hmmm....)
More color. Yes, I know she looks just a littttle biit creeeepy here....
But then....TADA! The finished project! All Hail the Queen!
BUT WAIT!Let's not forget the BACK of the heart! Because I am always finding myself adding "bits and baubles" I couldn't resist...some sequined stars to go with the hearts!
I hope you like it, Sarah! As well as you, Good Readers!
How wonderful-congratulations! I'm gonna go back over and check out your feature. The queen is coming! She's awesome! I love progression pics like that.

ReplyDeleteZan, your Queen of Hearts is wonderful! I love seeing how artists create their pieces and she turned out perfectly. I love the colours you have used to paint her.
ReplyDeleteJust spent almost an hour
reading Small Town Living - what a cool mag. I don't live in the US, but do live in a small town, so
I found a lot of the articles really interesting. The one of your and your dolls is great! And, my goodness girl, you are gorgeous!
