Numbers?

 


The current challenge at Tag Tuesday  is NUMBERS ... 
Here is the brief ... I would like to see Numbers on your tags, as in the title, I mean more than one number, I don't mind how many numbers you use, but you must have more than 3. They can be all the same or all different...

On my desk, I happened to have a box of old postage stamps ... and there were numbers of course, as each stamp displays its value. 

Here are my tags for the Numbers challenge.  The first is  a collage of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, standing on a podium with a random set of numbers  . The second features  a lovely set of stamps from New Zealand , again with the three numbers prominently displayed , complemented by a cut out from an old greeting card. 

Thanks, Sandie from tag Tuesday - a different and challenging theme.

Fish and Sticks : Art Dolls

This week I've been working on fish and sticks ....  The sticks are the message stick art dolls which were very popular, attracting some attention and a few orders at the Wise Women exhibition. Each of the message stick dolls are from the Wise Women series, each with her own personality and  message of wisdom, handwritten on a handmade timber tag. I gather the sticks during my walks around my neighbourhood and the tags are made from special bits of timber, some collected by me or  my husband or from off cuts gifted to us  from another doll making friend whose husband makes bagpipes. These dolls start off very simply with a wrap around a stick, in the general shape of a body. 'Naked" message stick dolls - strips of wadding wrapped around found sticks.   Then I usually wrap other layers of fabric, wool, and/or fibres, over which I do some simple embroidery. I sculpt  or mould small face masks for these dolls. I really like using "sari ribbon" as w...

Inside the corset, the lining depicts some of the recorded visual history of the protest marches of the time. The black and white photo transfer attempts to project a nostalgic feel to this art corset.  Corset work in progress - reverse appliqued s...
