#tcdap

Showing off my messy workspace for todays prompt. The sun is finally back again, after an (seemingly) endless winter of fog and clouds and even though I like winter, I am really happy for spring! I am a horribly messy person, which makes using our dining table as work table pretty complicated sometimes. #tcdapfeb #tcdap #workspace #beastsoftheunknown #sarahlumenheine

Day 2 of the #tcdapfeb is to show My Art. I decided to focus on my dolls for my art, I haven't drawn or painted since I start my dolls.. some times I miss it, then I hang out with these girls 😃. I've always been creative since I was a kid. I loved drawing and so my husband encouraged me to go back to school. I did and studied Graphic design and absolutely loved it! It inspired me to become even more creative. I painted more and loved it. Eventually I came across these stunning BJD on Pinterest, totally out of my price range I saw that someone had repainted Monster high dolls to look like BJDs. I thought I would give it a go... and here I am 😃💖 . . . #tcdap #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #create #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #kindmonsters #mh #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #tearsofcolour #ooak

Trying to get back in a more regular fun time art groove and doing another monthly prompt for #tcdapfeb Day 1: You. So this is me....well kind of. Instead of taking a selfie I figured I'd do this #meettheartist thing I've been seeing pop up alot on my Instagram feed. While it is impossible to list all of my likes/dislikes I drew out a few specific ones. Also it's been ages since I attempted some sort of self portrait so I thought it'd be a fun way to introduce myself to those who may not know anything about me. #selfportrait #artist #tcdap #drawing #artlife #illustrator

Heres my "then and now". On the top left is Rodrik, my first ever doll. His body is deteriorating but I still love him a lot. Then there is Gold on the right and the nameless raven in the bottom. They are the most recent dolls I've made and I am pretty proud of how far I've come. Sometimes I miss those vintage inspired dolls a bit, but I feel that they did not suit the story I wanted to tell. #tcdapfeb #tcdap #beastsoftheunknown #sarahlumenheine #ooak #artdoll #handmade #doll #creepy #oneofakind

Todays theme is "mood" and I've had a bit of a rough time. This is always bad for my dollwork because my mood tends to influence my artwork. And even though this is not bad for sketching and illustrations, it ruins the story I want to tell with my dolls. The world of the Beasts of the Unknown is a bit like my childhood stories, it is a world where I can escape. When I build the characters I want them to be fierce, adventurous, cheeky, solemn or calm. They are supposed to lift their partners (I don't want to say owner here, they are more like familiars) spirit, make them more fierce or adventurous in return. Sadness is not a mood I want to transport through my dolls, there is already too much sadness in the world. This commission, Sage, is one of my favourites and one I still like to look at to feel calm. #tcdapfeb #tcdap #ooak #artdoll #softsculpture #witch #commission #fiberart #art #sculpture #beastsoftheunknown #sarahlumenheine

Todays theme is "Love". I love a lot of things, good books and coffee and chocolate... And I love you! All you people that like my pictures (if you do this regularly I probably know your name❤) and that take the time to comment. Sometimes I just don't find the time to answer but be sure, I've read every comment and I appreciate your kindness 💞💕 #tcdapfeb #tcdap #personal

Trying to make this selfie not moodie. I bought some flowers to use as background for some pictures but the colors of the flowers did not fit. But having flowers at home is always a good thing! Some short facts about me: My favourite band is Explosions in the Sky, I love brussel sprouts and in my spare time I play lots of games and draw nude things and porn. Weirdo, haha! If you have more questions or things you want to know, please ask away in the comments❤ #tcdapfeb #tcdap #selfie #artist #dollartist #beastsoftheunknown #sarahlumenheine
