Art Dolls

I've always had a love for handmade art dolls. Perhaps it's partly because growing up, both of my grandmas loved dolls. One even would make doll clothes and drew paper dolls for each of us girls (the kind with the little tabs on the clothes so you could redress them). As I grew up, I was introduced to other kinds of art dolls. I realized they didn't have to just be made of porcelain or paper, but could also be made of cloth, polymer clay, and many other materials. So this post is dedicated to some artists I've come across who make some wonderful and beautiful art dolls. I've included links to their pages, so please check them out and show them some love!

Day 1

Day 1 of juice fast....complete.  I swear today was the longest day ever!  Man oh man was that hard.  In the morning, I was very optimistic and felt like I could really do this, but by about 2:00 I was really struggling.  My brain and stomach was telling me that I was hungry, but I kept fighting.  It's instinct to run to the refrigerator and just grab something when you're stomach growls.  But today I had to resist and stick to my juice...it was so much harder than I expected.  Plus seeing others around you eating and smelling their food just makes it that much harder.  I've spent so many years of my life just eating everything and anything so for me it was hard to limit myself and tell myself no.  It's going to be a big adjustment during this fast, but I just keep reminding myself of my goals and that I want to be healthier. I juiced some apples and oranges for breakfast.  I made the mean green juice for lunch (recipe below)...

Juicing...sounds funny doesn't it?  At least it did to me the first time my friend mentioned it.  Juicing...juicing veggies and fruit and making a (hopefully) yummy and nutritious juice for you to drink.  I've watched the videos and documentaries, I've checked out the recipes online, I've read the pros and cons...basically it improves your overall health and helps with weight loss. But as my parents asked, why not just eat all of the veggies and fruits instead of juicing them?  Well just imagine trying to actually eat all of those veggies and fruit in one day...you'd be eating all day.  Ain't nobody got time for that!  So juicing is a quick way to get all that goodness into your body and into your system.  If you haven't watched it yet, watch "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead". It's a great documentary and a great introduction to juicing and the benefits of it.  It really inspired me.  Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead Well, as of J...

Hello world!  I've finally entered the blogosphere.  Now let's be realistic.  I doubt many people will ever even read this, but this is for the sake of my own sanity.  Mwahaha!  Sometimes I have ponderings that I just have to put into words. A bit about me.  I'm a photographer, a crafter who is always experimenting with new ideas, a movie lover, and a dog-mom living in corn country.  I also enjoy supporting other artists and creators of handmade items so I will always take the opportunity to help promote others in anyway possible.  So for any of you who happen to stumble upon my little piece of the world....welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay!
