Hi everyone I hope you're having a fantastic November! We finally have our tree up and its all decorated! It took a week to put it up and decorate it fully! I still have to decorate all my other trees, I have 3 more, because, well, Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas at our house without a full size tree in every room we can fit one in haha! I'll have to do a tree tour eventually. Anyway, back to the main point of this post,
Little Lolas. Those of you who have followed me on this journey for a long long time know I used to sell my papier-mâché art dolls and similar style paintings paintings under the name Little Lolas (since 2007). It was later in 2020 that I began my journey into a more cartoony style of illustration and changed the name of my shop to just be Lorajean's Magazine to match the blog. The real reason for the name change was because the Little Lolas .com domain name was taken so I made my website as Lorajean's Magazine. Also because anything with my name in the URL was available. haha! But I'm glad things took the turn they did because my style changed and it was fortunate that Little Lolas was left behind and not turned into a cutesy cartoon aesthetic. That way when I came back to my roots, my artsy moody whimsical doll aesthetic, it would be waiting there for me and the domain would magically actually be available!! So I am pleased to announce the rebirth of my Little Lolas shop and will be creating my Little Lolas art dolls again! I am so excited! To be honest making only cute stuff for so long was draining me and when I got the opportunity to open a
Halloween shop with my husband I jumped at the chance and accidently left my cute style behind. So with this Little Lolas launch comes a relaunch of my cute
Lorajeans Magazine style as well; because, as I have been reminiscing on old things, I realized I will never truly say goodbye to my cute illustrations; they are the yin to the yang of my
Little Lolas and
Halloween folk art; and without all of these I've found I'm not being truly me. "And with our powers combine, we create, Captain Planet!" (that's an old timey 90's reference for you young folks to research haha)
So Here we go on a new journey, while reviving an old journey, and all of it is so exciting! I'll be continuing to post about what I create here on Lorajean's Magazine because this blog was and always has been the place to share of all of my work and interests. If you want to follow my Little Lolas journey and how it all began you car read about it
