I've been adding bit by bit to my "Welcome and Peace" sign using MMM's weekly themes. This week's theme is "helping hands." I was nearly stumped and then I thought of "hearts and hands" ... a recurring personal theme in my life ... and then I thought of the cast aside box of Barbies we have. I used the arms from a "Kelly" doll and made the heart with foil sheeting and used hot glue to get it all stuck together and onto the sign. Using old doll arms is a little "edgy" for me - doll parts seem macabre to me - but I thought this looked like a heart ready for a hug.
MMM themes used so far: dots, easter, mermaids, beach, a significant word, and helping hands.

ReplyDeleteWow Kimmie this is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant piece of art.
Great idea! I'm with you on the macabre aspect of doll arms, but coupled with that heart, it's a whole different experience.
ReplyDeleteSuper, great piece of work!
ReplyDeleteI think that the heart looks as if it's stretching its arms out and dancing: a lovely image x
