 This past weekend I attended a

 wonderful workshop put on by Pam Rowe in Akron, Ohio. Leslie Molen came to teach her Chun Woo doll. The

   doll was so much fun to make from choosing what fabrics I wanted to use to putting her together to painting her face. Leslie is such a fun person and a wonderful teacher. I have taken a few classes from her, I'll be taking 2 more this year. I enjoy her so much and she is a great teacher and has so much knowledge to share.

This is the group of wonderful women who were in the class. In the back is Margie, on the sofas are from left to right - Jeanne, me, Judy, Dot, Pam Joyce and on the floor are Leslie and Paloma. Barbara isn't in this photo because she was taking a hundred pictures with everyone's cameras and phones. Thanks Barbara!

Big thanks to Leslie for coming and teaching a wonderful workshop and thanks to Pam for putting on a great workshop.

Finished Doll

 Well it took me quite a while, but I finally finished a doll! This was an online class from Joggles by Barbara Schoenoff called the "Spirit of Christmas Past".  She is made all in white so it is hard to see all the embellishments but it was so fun to make. Unfortunately the pictures aren't that great, I couldn't seem to find the right light and I have to admit it's not my best effort but I've had a few difficult months and I'm trying to push myself back into doll making because I have a lot of classes to go to this year.

Time For Dolls - January Meeting

Last Sunday my doll club, Time For Dolls, had our January meeting. It was the 3rd anniversary of the start of our club! It is hard to believe that 3 years have gone by. Pam gave a great demo on painting and stamping on fabric. We are going to create our own fabric, either by painting or embellishing and then use that fabric for our challenge doll this year. More about that later after I start her. We also started our round robin. We start with a mannequin of our choosing, most people chose a paper mache type like this -          

Then a name is chosen out of a box and that person will embellish the mannequin however they choose and return it the next meeting. Then names will be chosen again and the mannequin goes around until each person involved in the round robin has a chance to embellish it. We probably won't be finished until next January. It is going to be a lot of fun. The name I chose was Deborah's and here is a picture of her mannequin -

This is a picture of mine. I can't wait to see what everyone does to her. This is going to be a lot of fun.
