New Faces!

I'm so glad to have my space back to normal after all of the flowers I had everywhere! I am working on a few commission pieces.

Here is one of the faces I can share with you, first layers of paint and then with "makeup". She is a dark skinned beauty with caramel eyes and will be about 12 inches tall, she is already spoken for but I will be happy to create a custom one for you.

I am also taking local orders, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, for flower wall/backdrops. Email me at rosannasart@aol.com if you would like to make an inquiry.

Have a great weekend!

St. Stephens Coconut Grove Arts Festival!

Her Art Dolls are magnificent

One art booth that really caught my attention was the booth of Rosanna Pereyra at the St. Stephen's Art Show. I usually don't notice dolls, but Gigi called me over and insisted I check it out. Glad I did. Rosanna, originally from Uruguay, who now lives in Florida was born into a family of sculptures, architects and designers. Her specialty is "Art Dolls," as you see here. Really cute hand-made dolls, made of polymer clay.

"Figurative Art Dolls are a way for me to incorporate all of the things I love. It combines technical design for creating armatures to balance the weight, metal work, sculpting, painting, fashion design and jewelry making," says Rosanna.

I had such a great time this past weekend at the St Stephens Coconut Grove Arts Festival!!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone that attended and purchased some of my art dolls and a great big thank you for featuring my work in the local news! You can read the full article at Coconut Grove Grapevine 

It was such an amazing experience and I was so honored to win an award in the sculpture category. 

It was raining and at times 25 mile an hour winds gusted but my little booth held up.

I will be listing 5 dolls left from the show in my etsy shop today.

Finishing some shoes. Less than 2 weeks until art festival, so much work so little time;) #paperclay#artdoll #artfestival #st.stephens#fashion#illustration

Making lots of large paper flowers;)
These are actually fun to make, my brain goes into a trance.


I will add photos, prices and info on all of the dolls next week for those of you that wish to purchase a doll but wont be in Miami.

Have a great weekend!

More Doll W.I.P.s!!(work in progress)

Its been a few crazy days here in South Florida, we went from high 80's to low 70's and now lots of rain. Here are the girls in the next stage of make up. I have given them all a heavy black liner, soft makeup with a pinky-red lip to keep the look fresh. I have already made the costumes and am working on the shoes. I will share those photos as we get closer to the show date.

Next week starts the hair and accessories. Then on to the decorations for the booth!
This week I over worked my right hand and now I have swollen fingers, which sucks to put it mildly.
I will rest it this weekend and then its back to work!

Have a great weekend

Fashion for Art Festival!

My date with the Art Festival is quickly approaching,Feb 13-15th, and I still have so much left to do! The one thing that brings me a little comfort is knowing that I work better with deadlines and under pressure;)
I am at the stage in the work that I can see that its coming together in a way I like, slowly but surely.
My creative side always wants to create something wildly extravagant with all of the trimmings and then my practical side slaps my creative side and yells-Get a grip!!Your'e on a budget and a schedule so lets get to work!
I was inspired by 2 designers whose work touched on several ideas I can relate to. Since I have a background in fashion design and Miami has a lot to do with the fashion world I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate that in an art doll for this event.
 There will be 10 art dolls, some who you may know;), each one is approximately 18 to 20 inches tall but with hair and bases some will be almost 24 inches tall. These are my largest dolls to date.
I have a lot of work left to do on the booth as well. I want to give it some decorations without calling attention away from the art.
For this show, the dolls are my own version of 3D fashion illustrations. Here is what I do after sculpting every doll and sanding them. I begin layering 2 to 3 acrylic colors for the skin, photo 1, then washes of watercolors and pastels to bring in some color and features, photo 2. Once dry I paint in the eyes and varnish everything. My girls are all painted and assembled and lined up on my work table awaiting costuming, then wigging!! The bases are also waiting for some sanding, holes, paint and varnish.
All of this actually took over a month and a half of hard work starting from the idea, to illustration, to gathering supplies and materials, then creating armatures, sculpting, drying, sanding and painting.
I still have a month of work to go. In the end its all worth it to see all of that energy you put into creating something that is then being taken home by someone who admires and appreciates it.

Hugs,
Rosanna
