About Me

My Photo
Welcome, my name is Sylvia Smiser. I am a self taught artist. I enjoy creating one of a kind art dolls and figures in cloth and paperclay. Vintage Halloween styled artwork is what comes naturally to me and what I am most passionate about creating. I am a proud member of the wonderful art group PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea). I am also honored to have been published in Art Doll Quarterly, Dolls magazine, Somerset Studio Gallery and Celebrate 365 Magazine.

Meet Little Wolfgang A. Moonzart

This little guy is a one of a kind art doll that would be a perfect as a guest at a Halloween Dollhouse or hanging out on a Halloween tree. He is only 5 3/4 inches tall.
He loves music...

He especially likes to dance!


He was created with bendable arms and legs so he can easily show off his fancy dance moves.


We had great fun dancing through this photoshoot!


He is currently available on EBAY. His auction will end Sunday evening April 28th.
Here is the link so you can see more photos of this charming little guy in action.

A Valentine's Day Piece, The Queen of Hearts, Up for Grabs!

For this month's PFATT Marketplace I have created this piece called the Queen of Hearts. There is only one available so if you would like to give yourself or your sweetheart a one of a kind Valentine let me know.  

Many have asked me where I come up with the faces I sculpt.  I find inspiration everywhere.  I go to the mall and watch people.  I look at old advertising images or antique postcards.  I also, collect antique photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
This little sweetie was inspired by this vintage image, with an Anaboo Creations twist. Maybe next year I will make him.

Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Valentines Day 2013!
Sylvia

Happy New Year!


Dear Friends, I just wanted to say Happy New Year and wish you all the best in the coming year! 

I know I have not made a post all month and I apologize.  I was out of town for a couple of weeks. 

I have had a wonderful December, having taken some time out to visit my family in California for Christmas and enjoy some happy times instead of mournful times. 
In reflecting on 2012 I have been challenged with  heart ache and loss. I think many of us have faced lots of painful life events this year.  Through all the challenges faced in 2012, 
 I have to focus on all of the blessings. 
The blessings after all are what life is all about. 
I hope you take the time to focus on your blessings this last evening of 2012. 
It makes for a much brighter day!

May you all have a Wonderful, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year!
From my heart to yours.
Sylvia
