Coraling ( with a G) : a phonecard artdoll

this august, artzdescrap has come up with something you might be interested... creating stuffs out of playing cards or any cards.

for my take, i decided to create something out of used phonecards.

how about using COTTON for her hair?

and painting it with colors for that highlighted look?

the back portion of the doll.

inspired by Neil Gaiman's novel CORALINE, i modified this phonecard artdoll and named her

CORALING ( with a G)

same button eyes like Coraline's

i really don't do beautiful artdolls and of course they are not always playable to little girls!

democracy will always be remembered

we mourn.

a night of fun with cookie

last night we had so much fun chatting and a yummy dinner at Pepper Lunch to go with it. it was the "despedida" party for Cookie Aguilar, a very talented lady who will settle in Australia soon.

it was a small short chat night with her together with some GNO crews ( as what we call ourselves).

cabbie and cookie

nita, cookie, cabbie, sym, tin and au after the peppered rice dinner!

challenge 61 at journaling junkie:::


There should be something laced in the LO (to correspond to the tie my shoe). Shut the door, picking up the sticks and laying them straight can mean "recovering from something or making something in your life/self right on track" (like "picking up the pieces metaphor"). A big fat hen can mean a prize or something you look forward to when you do that recovery or picking up.

this challenge is from our very own, janis.

me, myself and i ( a fabric album class by visual creations)

last june 20, 2009, visual creations conducted a fabric album class filled with techniques. cabbie lopez ( yours truly) and iris uy demonstrated various techniques like paper peeling, crackle paint, stamping on canvas, alcohol ink and masking to the participants.

the 4 hour long class opened up creativity in the participants because they have to actually design their own pages using paints, gesso and make use of the techniques taught. some were able to finish a few pages while others took delight to finish it at home.

more so, we hope you learned at least one of the techniques taught. you can use it not only on layouts but other minis as well.

a technique taught by iris: cutting of canvas to reveal and insert stuffs inside.

cabbie lopez tried this tissue technique ( a sneak peak for a future class).

cabbie lopez: paper peeling technique.

cabbie lopez: alcohol splatter technique

iris uy: masking and misting technique

cabbie lopez: alcohol ink technique on paint
