Did you miss our first ADO ezine???

Did you miss ADO's 1st Ezine?

Well, if you did... click HERE......

Description: A magazine by the Art Dolls Only group, showcasing the work of over 100 contemporary doll artists. Lots of interesting and informative articles and beautiful photographs explore the diverse world of the ADO members. Also we take a tour of some International doll museums and there are some projects and patterns for you to try your hand at too. A must read for all Art Doll lovers!

I had the pleasure of writing an article for this magazine and I am also working on ADO's first book which we plan to have ready for Christmas.

I will be participating in a few more challenges so visit soon and let me know what you think of our magazine and the artwork.

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

Bear and Bird Boutique and ADO

Hi Everyone!! I'm getting ready for the Bear and Bird Gallery show this weekend. Here's a link to their site for those of you that want to attend the show(Thanks Amy).

Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery

I apologize to any of you that I haven't been able to answer back. I've been working on several projects at once for some future shows so I haven't been able to visit my online friends very much.  

Big Hugs to all my pals at ADO, here's my Creepy Cute Ophelia. This is my interpretation or vision of Ophelia after she was found dead in the shallow water among the flowers she licked to pick. She was placed gently on a hollow log until it was decided what would be done with her, was this a suicide over heartbreak or had she slipped and fallen to her death??

 

 

Sorry for the quality of the pics, I WILL learn how to take great pictures one day-but not today.
