OWOH 2011 is HERE!!

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Rosanna Pereyra and I am an artist and art doll maker. I live in sunny South Florida with my hubby and kids as well as two pugs and a nutty german shepherd. I am so happy that you decided to visit my blog for the final OWOH event!

The One World One Heart event is a great way to meet & greet bloggers from all over! There is a bonus for visiting each participant, a gift or door prize for one winner! All you have to do is have an active blogging account, leave a comment & you'll have the opportunity to win my one of a kind pixie fairy art doll.
The winner will be chosen through an online random number generator on February 17th.

My gift to you is a 5.5 inch one of a kind art doll. I only create these dolls for very special occasions such as this. The head is hand sculpted from a blend of polymer clays then baked over an armature. It is then painted with oil paints and acrylic washes to give it a natural muddied baby skin tone. Hand dyed tibetan lambs wool is then applied lock by lock for the hair. The body is soft cotton that has been weighted and swathed in different layers of cotton and gauze that I have dyed. The doll is not removable from the blanket. It can be displayed as is or hung from its blue cord from a hook or a little branch.
It will arrive with its certificate.
*The winner can request that little flowers be added onto the side of the head to make it look like a little girl.


Have a look around, stay a while and thank you again for visiting me.
I hope you come back often.
Good Luck and God Bless,
Rosanna Pereyra

MY FIRST TINY COTTAGE (1/4 scale)


Heres a picture of the miniature cottage I built this past weekend at a Miniatures event.
I have some experience in 1/12th scale but this 1/4 scale is the smallest I have ever worked in.
Because of the size, I really thought it was going to be 10 times more difficult but as it turns out its almost the same and its FASTER!!
I also wanted to see if it was possible for me to get some good detail in and I am happy to
say that it is. I am in love with this new diminutive size and I will be working in it alot more now! The whole piece is around 5.5 inches tall, including the base. I still have some details to add (leaves, plants, nest and swag) but I couldn't wait to share
ALSO::I will be announcing my giveaway for the final OWOH event on
January 30th so come back soon!
