Thanksgiving an Alien, and a Pretty Girl!

It is almost Thanksgiving here in the United States and I actually have my Christmas tree up already!! This year I wanted to get ahead of the usual craziness so I started everything a little bit earlier and what a difference it has made. I will be doing this every year from now on, it takes so much of the stress off of me and I get more time to create. I am up to date on my commission work so if you are on the list, no worries all orders will be filled and sent out before Christmas!

Here is a little peek at an Alien Girl commission I did over the past week-

And here is another pretty girl Cintia, she is also a part of the smaller size of artdolls I have started working in.























I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I will be listing Cintia in my Etsy shop this Wednesday!!

OWOH 2011 is HERE!!

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Rosanna Pereyra and I am an artist and art doll maker. I live in sunny South Florida with my hubby and kids as well as two pugs and a nutty german shepherd. I am so happy that you decided to visit my blog for the final OWOH event!

The One World One Heart event is a great way to meet & greet bloggers from all over! There is a bonus for visiting each participant, a gift or door prize for one winner! All you have to do is have an active blogging account, leave a comment & you'll have the opportunity to win my one of a kind pixie fairy art doll.

The winner will be chosen through an online random number generator on February 17th.

My gift to you is a 5.5 inch one of a kind art doll. I only create these dolls for very special occasions such as this. The head is hand sculpted from a blend of polymer clays then baked over an armature. It is then painted with oil paints and acrylic washes to give it a natural muddied baby skin tone. Hand dyed tibetan lambs wool is then applied lock by lock for the hair. The body is soft cotton that has been weighted and swathed in different layers of cotton and gauze that I have dyed. The doll is not removable from the blanket. It can be displayed as is or hung from its blue cord from a hook or a little branch.

It will arrive with its certificate.

*The winner can request that little flowers be added onto the side of the head to make it look like a little girl.

Have a look around, stay a while and thank you again for visiting me.

I hope you come back often.

Good Luck and God Bless,

Rosanna Pereyra
