This is another one of my experiments and a painting I am working on.
I am trying to decide which type of background to paint to put behind my
felted doll creations, So if you take a look at the doll from yesterday, which one seems more like the world in which she would live?
Maybe it is because I am working on making sure that my characters in my story are not living in a white box that I want to also create a whole world for the needle felted characters to live in.
Opinions encouraged.
Thanks,

Tough call. She’s a pretty little doll. I like the second painting better, but perhaps the first one would make her look like she was tiny in huge world.
Thank you. Good point on the perspective. I was thinking style, but they do have a very different scale to them.
Love the top painting!! But possibly a bit busy as a backdrop, in which case the second painting might set the doll of better? You might want to audition both and photograph them.
What fun!!
Thank you,
I thought about that, but one is way too small and one way too large. But as I write this it occurs to me that I could print out the pictures of each in an appropriate scale.
I like them both, but I think she would like nice in the second one, it will seem very Monet-esque.
Thank you. Monet is one of my favorite painters.
I love the background that looks like a seascape, but I think your lovely little doll belongs in the background with the trees. But either way, your work is beautiful!
Thank you for leaving some love on my blog today:)
Thank you. One of my favorite things about AEDM is visiting all the beautifully inspiring blogs.
I like them both! Each would create a totally different story for your doll. What do you want her story to be?
Good question Anne. Its funny, one of my favorite books as a child had a series of dolls acting the story out for illustrations. What shall her story be?
Oo, it’s tough! I like the idea of her floating in the top one, but I’d need to see her in them to know. And yes, it totally depends on the story you want to tell! I love that you’re creating a place for her to be in.
hmm, now that is an idea, floating/flying in one, and living in the other.
I love this month and the ideas that come out of it.
For her colouring and attitude I´d say the second for living. That been said, the first one is gorgeous and has a great force.
Thank you Paula. The more I look at the first, the more I want to make more in that style.
It may not have been the effect I was trying to recreate, but it certainly is some thing I will do again.
hmmmm, wow, really, you are going to make me pick ONE!? no! both, do both! 🙂 I mean even our created characters can have multiple story experiences, right? Maybe she’s left home on an adventure and encounters both these landscapes?? Whatever you decide, just a plain old “Well Done” to you!! And thank for inspiring me for AEDM!
miracles,
k-
I think both wins. Lots of stories shall ensue.
As I said, it is really good to see you back this year.
