| Here I am with Linda and one of her wonderful creations.... |
I had the opportunity to take a two day class with Australian doll Artist, linda Misa.
I traveled with one of my best Doll artist friends, Heather Brauner, to Stephanie Novatskies House. Stephanie is a fantastic cloth doll and mixed media artist..... she wins way too many contests! She has a great Studio...check it out in the pictures.
Wow..Linda was great....A warm and loving teacher, I connected with her as soon as I met her. She was ready to tell all....just a fantastic person and teacher. She taught us her cool painting techniques for a more lifelike face using tones, shadows and blending...something that I really wanted to learn and some day master.
She also showed us a cool bleaching technique to alter any piece of fabric...then continue with painting and free motion embroidery...I'll show that in my next post.....I can only accomplish so much in a day,(well...a couple of days!...hahaha)
I t was a great class with my "family" of doll artist friends....I wish for more times like this one.....
