Birthday girl

The handcrafted art dolls by Danita have beautiful sculpted faces in paperclay and luminous eyes that appear to be alive. Each one of her dolls is unique and has a cheerful personality, and her handmade clothes and accessories make them even more special and one of a kind work of art. Everything is perfect on this art doll, the mixed media techniques I used to paint the doll face and her paper clay sculpted face are the same ones I use on my paintings, so it's like I took one of my Danita original art and turned into a real girl.  I wanted to make a doll that looked like a little girl without it looking infantile, it was kind of a trip down to memory lane for my childhood, and on this paper clay and fabric art doll I found the inspiration I was looking for. She is all dressed up for a party, with a gift in one hand, a cake in the other and a red paper mache balloon that floats from her hand. The effect of her being a little girl is accentuated by how I made her bright blown glass eyes
