This issue of my newsletter serves as a reminder that we were all beginners at one time, and dolls don't have to be complicated to represent quality, personality, or artistry.
I hope you'll consider opting in.

After my husband got his kidney transplant I had a lot of time on my hands and felt i had to release all the stress built up looking after my husband in the past years. Dollmaking was something I always behind my mind so after doing a lot og searching and buying books, like you Deanna I took my first class with Judi Ward. It was an online class. She gave me the jump start to my doll making.
ReplyDeleteI had always made stuff such as teddy bears and such and sold my creations at craft shows. But, I started making cloth dolls after I retired. I had made the online acquaintance via blogging with Colleen Babcock. I then met her in person at a quilt show where she gave a three hour class on making a doll head. That was me hooked. I also joined a really great online doll club called Cloth Doll Artistry. Sadly no longer around. They had lots of challenges which made me try different ideas. I have taken quite a few online classes over the years to improve my skills.
