There's not much to tell you about techniques here. It's just basically paint, doodle, add a rubon, glue some Dresden, paint some more, wrap some beads and wire.
You just have to learn to play, and experiment with color and pens. Look for a spot of contrast and add some more color.
Black outlines the color and makes it pop! The metal piece I stuffed into the brush portion is a smashed jewelry part! I added metallique paints for a dash of color.
But, having said that, you start with a Skinny Paintbrush Doll Kit from
that comes with the little doll, wings, and crown.
I used a doll mold and paper clay to create the cute little face.

The rest is up to you and your imagination. Bill thought she looked like a little Totem Pole, so that's what we're calling her. She hangs on the the wall easily using the hole in the top of the paintbrush. Cool!
I hope you are inspired to create and play.

ReplyDeleteLoved your paintbrush dolls so much that I bought 4 from Retro Art Cafe to make angels for my friends as Christmas gifts. Yours are so clever, whimsical and beautiful !
ReplyDeleteThey’re all metallique paints. The wings are painted using a sponge square to add the texture. The brushes soak up the paint so it looks like a thinner coat. It’s applied with a brush.
