Now that Cate Prato's book is finally out, I can reveal some of the artwork I did for it. These self-portrait dolls represent three aspects of my "self"--the Mother figure, the Librarian figure and the Artist. On the back of each doll I journaled a little about that role. It was a great experience to think about who I am and what it means to the people around me. I made little wooden stands for these out of dowel rods. There is a long pocket sewn on the back and the dowel goes into it.
Way cool. Loved those in the book, too!

They made me smile :) Cool dolls!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't these make for a faboo class! Ahem. Love the 3 faces of Kelli aspect.
ReplyDeleteKelli, So glad I found your blog again. I found one of my crows (your scrap crows) I made in 2007 and I had to look you up. You have been doing excellent things. Whoo hoo! Now I want to make some of those dolls. Love the sequin in the nostril. (must be the art Kelli) And the purse is extraordinary. I'd love to make one of those too. Oh, so much fun to have and so little time. But I'll give it a shot. Thanks for being so creative and sharing. - jeanne
