A Little Deity

I am taking part in the Little Deities illustration exhibition, for which participants were given a doll that was to be turned into a god. I decided to stick to the belief system I know best and channelled my Catholic grandmother, though interestingly it ended up a bit Mexican too. I haven't been to the exhibition yet and I am looking forward to seeing -- and learning much from -- the other participants' solutions! On until March 18.
Hello!
- Sandra Eterovic
- Melbourne, Australia
- This blog is both a record of my work and an attempt to contribute to the vast inspiration that thousands of other creative people have given me via the internet. I worked for many years in the fashion industry, designing prints, textiles and developing products for children. I now work as a freelance illustrator and make a variety of work under my own name. Some of the things that I make can be found in my etsy shop and in galleries and stores around Australia.
WELCOME TO MY SHOP!

Gotta love anything Mexicana! This looks great Sandra. Was it hard to paint on the doll surface? I have thougth about making religious things out of felt and calling the range "I felt Jesus"!!
you know i love your work Sandra but I also love the interesting & diverse places you get to display & challenge it, never a dull moment!!! :)
Hi Julianne,
I agree -- my love of Mexicana is endless. The doll surface was easy to paint on using acrylic -- the hard part was going around the curves of the legs and into the awkward bits around the neck. I popped the head off at one point -- shhhh.
Hello Jenni,
Thank you so much for that comment -- I hope I do get to challenge things sometimes! Lovely of you. :)
Thank you very much to both of you for your comments -- I was not feeling all that confident about this one to tell you the truth!!
Hope you are both enjoying the beautiful autumn weather. :)
Sandra! Look at it! It's amazing! The images on a baby doll is an incredible combination - religion, innocence, baptism, birth but then also makes you think of the baby as a religious icon too. And then the wonderful mexican religious macabre imagery on a little baby is another neural pathway fry! It's brilliant!
Hi Julianne,
How wonderful that you can see all of that in him....you have made me feel a little more confident about him and I thank you VERY MUCH for that. :)
Love it! Hope he got a mini pedestal to sit on for the exhibition.
Thank you Saskia -- I have left him in the lurch and haven't been to see him and his friends yet. I hope they are comfy and don't get up to too much ruckus at night when the gallery is shut...
Loving your latest post - as always, you clever lady!!!
