ABC's of ME Art Journal Prompt 'V'
*Also published on TallyScrapper.com.
Dang it if my life isn't running ME right now.
While I did get a lot of THINGS done this weekend... I didn't get anything CREATED.
SO.
I'll offer you my word, and one of the things that I have created lately, and my sentiment behind my word for you this late week.
VICARIOUS
One of the many things I love to create are dolls. The ideas for them come, and once they are on my mind, I have to create them. HAVE TO. My last doll was Marie Antoinette, and I read up a lot about her as I was formulating how she would come to be... and as with a lot of my dolls, I find myself living a little vicariously through the characters they become to me...
So what does the word vicarious strike up in your mind? Maybe it's living through your creations... children... other artists... or maybe you feel like others try to live through you... whatever your case may be, I hope you share with me here!!
Techniques If you're interested:I made my doll using cloth and creative paperclay. If you're interested in learning how to create dolls this way, I recommend taking a class from Gritty Jane.
