Your Inner Princess!!

[Fiddlette]

This week we are going to do another thematic digital ATC swap!!

We are also getting our inspiration from none other than Sally Jean, herself! I just got her book in the mail from Amazon, and I'm so in awe of her creativity...(and her soldering expertise!)

So I thought it is time for each of us to let our inner princess out and create her in the style of Sally Jean's wonderful princess collection. Notice, she gives each one a "mission", or an aspect of her personality:

I made this one some time back:

Music Princess (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=9346&cat=500&ppuser=923)

and this one is my current inner princess:

Forty (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=25797&nocache=1)

Here is a doll head png I found and prepared for you to use:

I can't wait to see all the pretty little princesses floating around the Scrap Artist Altered gallery over the next week! Please come back here to post a link...

And if you are sharing in our digi swap, make sure to send me the full hi resolution jpeg file here:

[Rikki]

What a wonderful challenge. How you guys come up with your ideas and those inspirational artists I don't know. Thanks!

And another swap, too. How fun is this?

Your forty princess reminds me a little bit of Claudine Hellmuth's Poppets, too.

[Fiddlette]

oooh..i just love claudine hellmuths poppets, too....i had her in mind when i did my doll dress and shoes for the apprentice doodle challenge...but instead of extraordinarily long dresses, i made it very short, lol...to be different!

We should have a claudine hellmuth challenge very soon, eh? Sounds fun!!

but for now, gals, get out your inner princesses!! I know she wants to shine!!

I also just noticed that kathryn balint (a wonderful digital designer with a nostalgic and vintage emphasis in her style) has a couple of new kits with these china doll heads in them!! In case you get addicted ...I know I am!! :)

[Rikki]

Oh, yeah, a Claudine Hellmuth challenge would be real fun.

We have one of her poppet sketches and a canvas at home and they are both absolutely fabulous. If anybody is interested, you can see the canvas on my blog:

Cool challenge Chistine! I can't wait to see how I can transform this doll head and also see what everyone else does. You are so "in the know" about these artists!! Love your 40 doll.

[iamkaren]

Fiddlette,

I've never done any of the altered challenges, but I was drawn to this thread by the doll head (I saw in your LO). We have this actual doll head in my Mom's china cabinet. Do you know anything about it? Please PM me if you do! It was my grandmother's doll.

thanks!

[kygirl]

What a fun challenge. Here's mine, the Clean Home Fairy: http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=25825&cat=500&ppuser=2874

[Belles]

I have not as yet gotten into ATCs as I am only on dial up and it is almost impossible for me to get the huge downloads that these swaps entail. I tried with the recipe thing and it was a nightmare.

"IF" I participate in this it might just be a regular sized scrap sized page and will not be for the swap sorry.

[happyrobyn]

Hi Helen! Dial-up can be a real pain sometimes. But actually, it's not too bad to send a high-res ATC through dial-up because they are such a small canvas. Normally an ATC saved at full-size is still under 1MB. However, the full zip file with everyone's will be much larger than that. But I hope you will participate anyway!

[Nevermore]

I loved this challenge!

[Fiddlette]

Raven! You are back! And with an awesome take on our challenge! It is really wonderful you are here, this week! This is a swap! You get all ours, and we get yours! lol! Isn't that so cool? Don't forget to mail me the hi res version!

C.Honsinger@sbcglobal.net

Can't wait to see some more! Ladies....where are your inner princesses??

:)

[adee]

ooh this is a fab challenge. I adore Sally Jean's stuff. I have her book on my xmas list - think I'll do a messy house fairy lol!

[Rikki]

[cre8tvlyyrs]

Ohhh...I love Sally Jean's work!! Can't wait to do this one!! Probably won't until tomorrow since I'll be busy with Halloween and all!:D

[Fiddlette]

Oh good...can't wait to see your inner princess, Gina!

I love yours, Rikki!

Come on gals...tell your friends! We want this swap to be a BIG file of princesses for us all to make a fab glue book for ourselves! :)

[happyrobyn]

Man ... I gotta figure out a good inner princess. You guys are all so creative!

[happyrobyn]

Oh good...can't wait to see your inner princess, Gina!

I love yours, Rikki!

Come on gals...tell your friends! We want this swap to be a BIG file of princesses for us all to make a fab glue book for ourselves! :)
What the heck is a glue book?! You are such an IRL gal! And I am so digi. I have no clue about such things!

[Nevermore]

a lot more people post. Gimme a break. All those gorgeous china doll heads and I have a frog. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

[Fiddlette]

Hey!! I LOVE that Frog Princess! I wish I'd thought of it!! :)

[happyrobyn]

So I SHOULD be working on my final kit for the Scrap Artist Apprentice. But what am I doing? That's right ... I am playing with dolls! LOL! The kit will have to wait. I am tired. This doll took forever! But it was so much fun to cut out all of those doll pieces. Very cool inspiration.

I decided to be the American Princess (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=25946&cat=500&ppuser=1707).

[cellomom]

I absolutely love everyone's doll! Rikki, you inspired me to draw my own body and feet (and hands, sorta!!)I'm thinking I may need to add a little lace collar, but it may have to wait until tomorrow!!

TFS everyone and here is mine:

[webchyck]

Here's my Blog Princess

[Cass]

Although I have posted earlier, I have to let you all know, I have just checked out everyones inner princess and I am amazed at the beautiful work. They all look great and we all seem to have a different inner princess at the moment. This was a great fun challenge.

(Robyn, yes it is my drawing)

Thanks for so much fun this week.

[cellomom]

Again, everyone's inner princesses are wonderful!! I agree with Cass!

I had to add a collar to my thankful girlie...I used one of Christine's doilies! How cute is that? Loved this challenge! and I e-mailed you my hires version, Christine. Enjoy~

[golfmom]

I had so much fun with one, that I've gone ahead and done another.

Fiddlette,

I've never done any of the altered challenges, but I was drawn to this thread by the doll head (I saw in your LO)!

[Fiddlette]

O, my lord! You caught me! I was reading your post thinking I am not going to bother because nobody needs my frog peeking out of all the china doll heads, it will unbalance the "collection". Yeah, yeah, I will send it kiddo but honestly, it was a quirk addition to an otherwise neat gallery.

[happyrobyn]

Oh we NEED the frog princess Kim!!

[graybonnie]

[happyrobyn]

These are all so awesome! The princesses are taking over the gallery!

[Fiddlette]

I just love her, Tiffany! Did you draw her face and paint her crown? Those touches are adorable....wouldn't she make the most precious greeting card subject? :)

[DeniseD]

Here's mine -

Shine ATC (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26161&cat=602)


When I posted it went straight to the bottom of day, didn't show in main gallery? Anyhow, I'll leave a note.

[scarlettcharm]

2nd try...

[Mercyblues]

Okay....I'll admit...I had my doubts about this...mainly because the doll head thing really creeped me out....(don't ask...it's a china doll thing apparently some deep rooted awful memory from my childhood...who knows!). It really became lots of fun...like playing paper dolls and I just couldn't stop finding accessories!!

Thanks for letting me play!

This has been so much fun! I love it when we get our mojo going and one good thing leads to another and another and another..... thanks for all of the good inspiration going on in the gallery!:D

[Txmom2two]

Here is my tomboy princess! thanks for the challenge!

[Fiddlette]

Our gallery is smokin hot with some really cool and gorgeous princesses! I look at all of your work and think, I wish I could know you all personally! The work that represents you is just so fabulous! you all must be the greatest most creative bunch of ladies in the whole digi world! :)

[kygirl]

Just had to do one more, http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26231&limit=recent.

[happyrobyn]

HOLY COW!!! I had to take a few days off of the forums in order to finish up my final kit for the Scrap Artist Apprentice competition. It is finally done and sent off to the SA ladies and now I come back to find this INCREDIBLE gallery of dolls! I will comment on them each individually ... but as a group, they are AWESOME! Thank you guys so much for your wonderful participation and thanks to my partner Christine for this fun challenge!

[Marretje]

However I'm not totally happy with the final result I decided to post my Inner Princess. It was to much work to let it only on my computer or to delete it. And I had to start somewhere with this kind of work, because I do like it.

Here is my Familyhistory Princess (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26269&cat=602). Thanks for the inspiration and the Doll-head.

[misstillie]

This was a fun challenge! Made me appreciate who I am just a little more!

Here's my princess (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26280&cat=500&ppuser=3423).

Everyone has done an amazing job on their LOs.

[Fiddlette]

Oh, I am so happy to see that there are even more posts of princesses today! I'm sorry to see this challenge end after tonight, it has been so much fun...

But you do have until Midnight tonight to post, and I'll gather up all the princesses and create a zip and robyn (who always helps me with all puter stuff, she is a wiz) will create me a link to email you all back...

So make sure you have emailed me your princess...that is the way I will mail you the zip!

Tonight or tomorrow morning there will be posted a new challenge so stick around! and stay tuned! :)

[happyrobyn]

And I can't wait to see what that new challenge will be! Oh wait ... It is ME who will be posting it! Better go put on my thinking cap! LOL! Not to worry - there WILL BE a challenge!

[clepatb]

Thanks for a really fun challenge! Here's mine:

3 months later.

I finally managed to put our princesses into a frame and hang them up on a wall. If you would like to have a look at them (they look awesome, BTW) go to my blog:

[Fiddlette]

Rikki, that is just AWESOME! I LOVE the idea of framing the ATC's all together like that! I bet you will get a lot of conversations based on that art on your wall! Thank you for posting the link! I want to copy your idea, now!

[happyrobyn]

Way cool Rikki! Thanks for posting that picture!

[malacima]

I hope is not to late for this challenge.
here is my example:

Just finished mine, loved the challenge. No doll head for me thanks, I used my own! ;) Ok, yeah, the pic is 8 yrs ago, but you get the idea.

[happyrobyn]

These dolls are awesome! I love that you guys went back and did an older challenge. Always feel free to try out a challenge you may have missed!

[sistermoon68]

I love the challenges here. My inner princess is in the mood for spring now, and you can find her in the gallery for this challenge.

[kaytebug]

I wanted to do this one, as I looked at some of your past challenges.
