Christmas Cornish Pixie Elves 2017

This year I was struggling with what to paint for the Christmas Cornish Pixies, so I've painted snowflake ones again as I do like the simplicity of them.

 As you can see for this year I've not gone for traditional colours but used pink, blue, gold and a metallic black.

Though I have used traditional red and green for two Patchwork heart Cornish Pixie Elves.

I was also tempted to paint some more snowy scene Snowmen again this year but instead I painted a Mailbox and a Postbox.

I'm really pleased with the results of them and i even found time to paint some mini Cornish Pixie Elves which will be giveaway prizes for my next Facebook shows.

A doll revamp / makeover.

Do you remember this doll called Amberindia, I made her in 2014 and I'd been making art dolls for just over a year.

She was great then but I've never been quite happy with her, so this week I finally decided to revamp her, essentially give her a makeover. So I chopped of her head and made a new one and gave her a new hairstyle in a different colour and style.

I think it has transformed her and I prefer the way I do my faces now even though I still like to experiment. I was hoping to make more dolls this year but time is against me with editing book 2, shows and family life. But you never know I may find time to squeeze one in as I would like a new fairy for my christmas tree.

Until next time Vic xx

P.S. I still have the old head in my sewing box, it might get painted over and reused or I may pop it in a jar full of others next halloween.
