A little Caribbean girl’s dream is played out on 4×3 inch tin foil.
The foil was allowed to keep its “wrinkled” shape which adds texture and character to the piece.
Painting Details: Gold leaf dress, brightly colored headdress, small black ponytail, tall white flowers, blue and purple sky, big yellow sun and a small little happy girl skipping through rainbow colors at her feet.
Please see my Etsy shop sidebar link for purchase details.

I love having a ton of projects all at once. Sometimes it feels like too much but other times it motivates me, keeps my spirit flowing. Recently I’ve been able to finish up several projects that sat on the back burner while I dealt with life. Life happens fast sometimes then it clams just enough to let you catch your breath and recharge. During my period of rest I finished 4 large projects. I have to say I’m kinda proud of myself.
There are yet 3 unfinished projects in the Sundrip Studio aka my living room. One such project is shown here. She’s a 10 inch doll hand sculpted out of cold clay.*Cold clay is clay you don’t fire.
Here’s what needs to be done to complete this doll and cross her off my artist’s to-do list. I need to work on her face more, add hands and decide on clothing. When I work on her face more I’m going to raise the eyebrows so she’s not frowning so much but, don’t expect a smile. To give her a smile would take away from what I’m trying to express.
Doll stats: hand sculpted, yarn hair, cold clay, 10 inches tall, a first for me. 🙂

Mariah, the Handmade African-American Rag Doll is now available in my shop on Etsy. Please see the sidebar for the Etsy link. SOLD
Mariah was hand painted using oil paints which were allowed to cure. I then hand drew her facial features and painted them in acrylics. Her clothing is upcycled and includes a hand formed bead on her scarf. She is about 30 inches tall. She has big brown light eyes and medium brown soft hair put up in ponytails. Her ribbons match her scarf. The doll she’s holding is not included.
All though Mariah is well put together I don’t consider her a toy. She’s more of a shelf sitter or welcome doll for a novelty shop or for the home of a fine art doll collector.
Hand washable. Continue reading “Mariah, African-American Ragdoll”
