This is a demo that Sherrill did using a paint from Kroma called "Crackle". Kroma paints are made in Vancouver, B.C. They are a wonderful paint and their store is situated on Granville Island.

Sherrill posing with a huge coffee filter on her head. When you take a workshop with Sherrill, she uses everything but the kitchen sink to make backgrounds and to add depth to her work. Anything you can put paint on works. We were asked to bring face wipes, coffee filters, cosmetic pads, fabric to name just a few of the items.

And the winner of OWOH is.......

Polly the Paper Doll

This is the second of the two dolls. The swap is held by the Yahoo group "Arttechniques". They are an amazing group of artists who share their talent and skills.

Moll the Doll

Joined an Art Doll Swap and made my first art doll. This is Moll.

It was a fun project to do as it took me back many years when I use to play with Paper Dolls and made paper clothes for them.
