Meet Love.. One of the Festival Dollies. It's not long now until Dolly Dimples are back on our TV screens on Create and Craft. The new range of stamps I designed for Dolly Dimples are called the 'Festival Dollies' there are 3 stamp sets in all, Love - Hope - Harmony. The girls come with sentiments, worker stamps, butterfly's and lots of funky flowers. With spring being here and summer only around the corner I wanted to design fun and happy images with a twist of the 70's vibe. The above project was made using the stamp set 'Love' and one of the alphabet templates from Dolly Dimples, which will be on the show. I used my stamp press to get a good image of Love, then using the alphabet template I cut out the letter L. Then fussy cutting the image out and using alcohol markers I coloured in Love and used a white pen to add high lights. The letter L I decorated with paper and stamped with VersaFine CLAIRE ink, using the word and flowers stamps included in the ...

So it's Wednesday 7th April 2021 and I'm actually doing my next Blog Yea me.. One of the ranges I designed for Dolly Dimples was Under The Sea, Charmain did have a previous range called Under the Sea with art work by another artist. I was asked to add further characters to this range. Once I started I basically couldn't stop, the character's kept coming which eventually created an extremely large collection. The above is the line art I drew on A4 copier paper, the original sketches are in a journal book that I can't seem to find at the moment, quite frustrating but I'm sure when I'm not looking for it, it will appear. The line art will be used to create the stamps. Once I have the line art finished I then scan it onto my computer and print onto mixed media card. Once printed I then set about colouring it in, this will then become the art work for the cover of the stamp sets. The two stamp sets above are A4 so you can see from my drawing...
Thanks for dropping in, this collection is called Dolly Tots. I created these characters whilst sitting watching the TV, I wanted cute child like images that would be large on paper but eventually made into small stamped images. Almost like the film Bugsy Malone where the characters were grown up but played by children. The above drawings are quick sketches to get a kind of image I was looking for, I wanted to make the faces cute and doll like so concentrated on the eyes and making the face round. Once I had the images how I wanted them I created the line art from the drawings which would be used to make the stamps. I scanned the images then printed them onto mixed media card and used alcohol markers to colour in the characters so these could be used for the cover art for the stamps. Created worker images to go with the main characters. Also a couple of frames, you can see the coloured frames are the original size and the black and white below are the...
