Beyond Paper Dolls by Somerset Studio

The publisher of Somerset Studio and Art Doll Quarterly is proud to present Beyond Paper Dolls, a new publication dedicated to expressive paper personas crafted with innovative techniques and art mediums. Artist, author and designer Lynne Perrella, has invited over 50 mixed media artists to contribute to this book of over-the-top imaginative interpretations of the human form. Far more than paper dolls, this selection of thought-provoking and innovative “paper personas” will awaken your urge to make artwork that is meaningful, expressive, and full of story-telling.

With creative chapter headings such as “Inner Visions”, “Curtain Up!”, “Celebrations”, “Fetish Figures” and more – get ready to immerse yourself in colors, textures, found objects, paint, fabric, fibers, metal and that eternal favorite paper. In addition, each chapter will also include a “Details Dossier” revealing the artists’ techniques for creating the work, and giving you countless clues for using mixed media supplies, as well as spy-glass close-up views of the art to satisfy your inquiring mind.

Pull up your favorite chair, keep a sketchbook close at hand, enjoy the creative banquet served up by over 50 well known artists, and then start plotting how YOU plan to go “beyond paper dolls”.

Holiday Hours for Christmas and Boxing Day

We do not want you to be left out of your last minute holiday shopping! Holiday Hours for Christmas and Boxing Day are as follows.  We will be open on Christmas Eve until 2 pm, after that we will be closing for a few days to enjoy time with our families.

 

We are closed on December 25th for Christmas and December 26th for Boxing Day.

Boxing Day takes place on December 26th. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it is typically a non working day in the whole of Britain. It was the day when the alms box, collection boxes for the poor often kept in churches, were traditionally opened so that the contents could be distributed to poor people. Since Boxing Day is a time to spend with family or friends, usually those not seen on Christmas Day itself, we are all going to be home with our families too!
