They are fun to work with, do not take that long, and I am quite crazy about all the options there are, to use all kinds of paper and cardboard in the process: magazines, advertisements, postcards, newspapers, books, copies and more.</p><p>I saw a similar figure in Pamela Hasting's book; <a href="https://www.healingandtransformativedolls.com/books-and-ebooks-hastings.html" target="_blank">“Paper Doll Inspiration</a>”, where slightly primitive figures were put together and connected. I loved the idea, and felt like doing something similar. I decided to make a chain of my ancestors. In the beginning I wanted them all, but they were thinned out over time. It took a long time to find photos and select paper and photos out for the collage.</p><p>In my universe, it often becomes a profound shamanistic approach, and the whole process was sensitive and brought realizations and memories with it. During the process, I felt that I came close to the women I decend from, and the different images and symbols, told me stories about my relationship with them, as well as about the life and the connection we have had together.</p><p>I switched out several times, and also painted over a single time.</p><p>On the front of the figures, there is a picture of the face of my female relations, smiling and beautiful. It makes me proud to know what amazing women have raised me, loved me, shaped me and who are my heritage and ballast.</p><p>On the back there is a childhood picture. It is beautiful to experience both the child and the woman, and feel how they live in me, for better or worse. We were all just little children, and totally innocent from the start. We were just born into a world not designed to express the power and wisdom of women.</p><p>A common word that I can feel is for all five of them is; “Survivor”. These are proud, upright, beautiful, intelligent, wise women who survived and who express beauty, wisdom and power.</p><p>When I felt the 5 figures were finished, I tied them together. Considered who should hold each other's hands. Also considering whether to add my two daughters and my granddaughter? Decided to wait. This is my background, my DNA, my female allies. Maybe my girls even do this work one day?</p><p>When they were bound together, I lit a candle in their midst, and blew sage over them, one by one, along with a little blessing. Felt a longing in the heart. How would it feel to stand with them in a physical circle? To feel the unity and the common power?</p><p>My mom is dead and my sister is not talking to my dad's family so it remains a dream and longing. However, it felt powerful and genuine to gather them with light and blessing.</p><p>Here they are: </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-70mQXVzIeVy51clO_nRFfGPOh9fTs1HbjDqOLKSVX9VWA7jg3mp836eraCYLpuvfH0pKKGGtRgpVLenG8qqrx6iGL2O2vsXauNGVDrJks5u-1ZGi3Axrf5tFG6-B1o1zkNq4tQs4zg1/s2048/6A6856FA-5F5B-414A-B963-58AEE42EED3C.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-70mQXVzIeVy51clO_nRFfGPOh9fTs1HbjDqOLKSVX9VWA7jg3mp836eraCYLpuvfH0pKKGGtRgpVLenG8qqrx6iGL2O2vsXauNGVDrJks5u-1ZGi3Axrf5tFG6-B1o1zkNq4tQs4zg1/s320/6A6856FA-5F5B-414A-B963-58AEE42EED3C.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is my Mother, Eva: Artist, black sheep of the family, intuitive, loner, spiritual beautyful woman.

I am that sort of person that likes to start projects, but hate to finish them. Well, that is accually not quite true, I just like the start much better than the endings. I get so easaly bored with a project, especially if I am somewhat a bit challenged by it.<br />
<br />
When I start a new painting, I have this idea of what it will be like, or perhaps I am just experimenting with a new tecnique. Very often I will get bores and leave it and start something new. This results in me having a lot of unfinished painting and dolls lying around.<br />
<br />
I think it will be nice to challenge myself a bit with that. I will try to finish them one by one, and get them out of the house.<br />
The painting on top: Home is where the Heart is is a small acrylic painting and was just an unfinished background I never finished. Now this one is my first to finished in this personal challenge! Jay!<br />
<br />
I have a theme I work with, witch I call "Songs from Anneland". The paintings are very often about distant childhood memories, my dream of having my own secret treehouse, friendship, loneliness, sorrow and love. Here are some larger one I´ve painted in the past:<br />

I´m making medicin dolls and are attending a year long course with the wonderful teacher Barb Kobe. It is a wonderful proces.<br />
This is the first doll in a series of 6. She is The Guardian. I haven´t come up with her name yet, but she is a very old, wise woman. She is the protector.<br />
It has been a very special creative proces until now. I don't just make her out of my imagination. I ask myself through intuition, dreams and feelings. I try to work with the inner feeling guiding me in the direction of healing. This is the medicin doll way.<br />

I am working with paperclay. The brand is Creative Paperclay. It is hard to find here in Denmark, so I have to order it from USA. That makes it very expensive, but I really like this clay, so it is worth the money. It hold the details nicely and becomes very hard and durable after curing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought I would show you how I make hands. There are many ways of making hands, and for a long time, I found it very hard and frustrating, because it was difficult to make them identical. They never looked like my drawing. At a puppet workshop, I was tought to make the armature from styrofoam and small pipe cleaners. It is quite easy. At this picture you can see that I have cut out two identical small squares of styrofoam. This is the size of her palms. Then I cut the pipe cleaners in different lenghts. I use my own hand as reference. After this, I glue them into the styrofoam, and let it dry completely.<br />
<br />
<br />

After it is dried, I take a little portion of the papierclay, and add some water to it in a little bowl. It becomes liquid, and then I paint it on the entire hand. After drying again, I can add small pieces of clay, and use my sculpting tool to smooth and sculpt the hand.<br />
<br />
This dolls hands are supposed to be quite big, because they are a part of her symbolisme.<br />
<br />
I will make her feets without the styrofoam, They need some weight. Perhaps I will put some lead in them. Don´t know yet.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is not just an art doll. Itis not supposed to be sculpted entirely with clay. It has another purpose, and therefore I need to change my normal way of making it.<br />
<br />
I like to make the body proportions correct. I am a little perfectionistic.<br />
I think I have to throw this habit out the window in this creative proces, because it is not helping me much. Too much thinking is not helping. It is leading me astray.<br />
<br />
I was thinking about this for some time. How could I let go of my perfectionisme, and insted try to follow the creative proces? Should I make her with just natural materials like twigs and such? Should I make her as a paperdoll? Would she be an abstract version? Symbolic? Surreal?<br />
<br />
I had an inner picture of her, but my feelings kept telling me to go in another direction. My inner picture was an old hag, living deep in the ground, heavy, grey and with dark colored, coarse clothing. This was the doll I wanted to make. But my feelings kept on showing me another version: lighter, happier and much more colorfull. I saw bright blue and yellow with green. Not dark blue and grey.... This version had another feeling than the first one. I had a little difficulties changing my original idea... Do you know what I´m talking about here?<br />
Killing your Darling is very hard, right? I could write a long blog post about that....<br />
<br />
Of course I will follow my feelings. That is the sole purpose of my intention of making this medicin doll. Of course I will make her younger, lighter and brighter if my feelings are telling me to.<br />
<br />
I decided to make the armature as I had planned, but head, hands and feet will not be anatomical correct. They will be enlarged. Her dress will be big, colorfull and decorated with all the symbols that this doll is trying to show me.<br />
<br />
The armature is made with strong steel wire, covered with masking tape. When the feet are done and attached with the head and hands, I will cover the body in batting strips. Then she is ready for clothing. But this is all I have for today. Keep coming back for updates ;-)<br />

Good evening! This is a painting I am working on these days. It is a slow process, but I am slowly getting done. Thank God for acrylic paint! One can keep on painting layers of paint untill the painting is finished. </div>

<br />
I just realized that it has been a very long time since I wrote something on this blog. Shame on me ;-)<br />
<br />
Tonight I thought I could show you some paintings I am working on. It is somehow a funny process, because they need to be finished by next week, and I don´t know if I can make it. I am participating in a exhibition, and had to come up with titles and size before I had actuallly painted the painting. That´s because of the deadline for printing the shows program....<br />
<br />
Well, I normally don´t get stressed out that easily, but this is putting quite some pressure on my creativity ;-) I named them: The Magic of the Night, Primordial Force and Transformation. I had the themes in my head and most of the motive, but the painting keep taking me places that wasn´t planned.<br />
<br />
Like this one: The Magic of the Night:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It is still not finished. I need much more trees and flowers and stuff. I loved the way these two rascals turned out! Still need more midnight magic though ;-)<br />

The second painting is different. In danish it is called Urkraft, and I acually don´t know how to translate that word. Google suggests "Primordial Force". It´s all about nature, ergi, energy, sensuality and so on ;-) Very much not finished. I´m painting in a nice white stag in there.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The last painting is also very different. It´s called Transformation because it is going to be about uniting man and beast. I am very much into Jung, so in my imagination, the unity of man and beast will create transformtion and make ud able to reach for the stars.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;">"Gardens of the Soul</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;"> explores the different ways sacred art can expand awareness and nourish the soul. Through her paintings and writings Faith Nolton shares the creative processes of sacred art — both the inner journeying work and the practical art techniques. She weaves together her own shamanic practice and spirit conversations with her skills as a painter and poet. Her paintings uniquely reflect a world of mystery and nourish the soul."</span></i></span></span><br />

The theme was H. C. Andersen, and I made a little painting of the ugly duckling.<br />
The text is: Life is the only teacher or school. I think it is a quote from Mr. Andersen himself.<br />

This painting is huge, and I´m learning that big paintings take a lot of time... I changed the background from purple to brownish. The harvest is ripe and nature is exploding with energy and power. When the big central tree is finished, I´m going to start working in the animals and the persons drumming. The lake and island will be done at the end. The cauldron will be simmering.<br />

Painting on such a bog canvas is quite an challenge to me. Right now I am working on the forest floor and the purple fields in the background. Istill consider my work on this painting as part of the background... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
