Art Doll Challenge - Up in the Air

Here is my first art doll for the challenge: A feminist superhero. There are more coming soon, so stay tuned!

April Art Doll Challenge

There's an Art Doll challenge running right now on Illustrated ATCs, and I thought I'd post a few examples before I dig in for myself.

An art doll is commonly made of paper but can be made from just about any medium - and I have to say "just about" because "sloth saliva" might be a viable medium, but then again, IT MIGHT NOT.  Art dolls can be drawn, painted, collaged, sewn, glued, hammered, welded - you're getting the idea, right?  I've almost maxed out my verbs for the day.

Some examples:

A sewn doll that's also been painted
(By Amerasu)

Cloth bodies.  Clay faces.  Paper Legs.

Sweet, lovely, happy clown made from paper
(By Cindy Blair, aka Cindyjob)

Or rather, PAPER AND EVIL
BECAUSE IT HAS ANOTHER HEAD
AND IT IS SECRETLY EVIL AAAAAAAAAA

If you're wondering how to store art dolls, well, you shouldn't.  You should display them, perhaps like this:

I'll be posting my own art doll creations as I make them!
