CLOUDS : ADO March 2014 Challenge

" Aquarius - Zodiac Sign" by Athina Koufaki 

The ADO  monthly challenge theme for March 2014  was  "CLOUDS." 
 
In meteorology, a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body.  As you can see , art doll creators found many creative and different interpretations of "clouds" to inspire  them

Kymeli Mary Zeaki provided a beautiful angel on fluffy clouds as the challenge cover girl  

Visions of blue and white by Amy Esry, Maggie Tuite and Monica Smart 

White clouds and sunny days inspired jp Turla and Aurelia Nowak 

Grey clouds by Wilma Simmons

Art Dolls Only Challenges 2013 Part1

Art Dolls Only hosted monthly challenges throughout  2013 – and what exciting art dolls were created for these challenges. All the challenges were open which meant that all doll makers were invited to participate.  All the suggested themes for the challenges came from members themselves. I started the year with a long list of all wonderful suggested themes, so I used Random Generator and we were in business with the first six months chosen even before the ink was dry  on the 2013 calendar!  The photo collages below are representative of the dolls posted for  each month's challenge - not all art dolls have been posted here. However, they can all been seen by going to the  Art Dolls Only Facebook page  and click on to the Events section.

 “Zodiac “ in January was obviously not a popular subject or perhaps we were all still recovering from Christmas and writing our New Year’s resolution lists. 

January - Zodiac 

In February, we seemed to love the idea of 'water' with so many beautiful mermaids, and water sprites.

From a cute chihuahua to a sinister satyr ...and all sorts of Animalia inspired art dolls appeared for March
