I finished the "souls" this weekend! Their little bodies are covered with vintage German sheet music that Katie and I found at the New Castle Farmer's Market last year. I used a one-step crackle medium on their heads and hands; to give them a warm, aged appearance. Their (rather dapper) paper collars are made from heavy card stock that is coffee-stained. They stand on stenciled and distressed checkerboard pattern wooden bases. They are (from left to right): Huppert, Sascha, Gottfried, Rafael, and Otto. (take a bow, boys!) Blessings, Daryle
They are charming! Their collars should keep them at attention, and I love the little checkerboard stands. I'm especially taken with the little newspaper hat!

Oh I love them all, but I think Sascha is my favorite, I love his hat and upturned head. They are all so wonderful, each in his own way!!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl! I am holding out on "Gottfried" as my favorite... but "Sascha" is a close "second!" This has been such a fun series for me to work on. Thank you so much, for following the progress on these guys! Daryle
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful! They do look like they would each have their own personality, I like Otto!
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful .I stated the cage doll.I would never have used paper on them, love that.I just finished painting of a little boy and his real name is Oscar. They remind me of the name Oscar. A old man.
