2012 Traveling Dolls

The start of something good! 

We had so much fun with our traveling dolls last year we decided to do it again.  To start, we each made a body with head and face along with the beginning of a story journal.  As the dolls go along the story grows and the dolls get more complete.  Above are the dolls that came to our March meeting.  After a photo session, we traded dolls so the girls could go home with a new doll maker to add arms and legs as well as another segment of the story.

ARMS & LEGS

Here are the girls (yes, they all turned out to be girls) all together at the April meeting of Dolls With Arty Attitudes with arms and legs to match their personalities and styles.  Isn't this fun!  

We traded dolls again - no one can have the same doll twice - to add the hair and underwear.  Can't wait for the May meeting to see them with new hair.  Well, all except Panda Lee who started with hair as part of her head! 



Opening Comments

This is the premier of  Dolls With Arty Attitudes!  
Formerly Eastside Doll Club, we have a new name and a Web presence.  We hope to get our name out there and to grow our membership.  The more the merrier!

We meet once a month on the 3rd Thursday of each month at Crossroads Shopping Center - center court (toward the chess board and QFC), Bellevue, WA.   Meeting time is 6:30 p.m.

All doll makers are welcome to join us.  Bring Show & Tell. 

Our meetings are informal and fun.

Show & Tell - We bring projects recently completed or we just want to share
                     -  Magazine publications of interest
                     -  Articles or information we think the group would enjoy
                     -  Upcoming workshops or classes

Monthly Challenges - Our challenges are amazing!  We set a common criteria and each of us goes to work with our own ideas and talents.  The results are always unique with no two results the same. 

Dolls With Artful Attitudes invites YOU to join us to share your love of doll making.  Our next meeting is May 15th (not the 3rd Thurday this month - too many conflicts!)  6:30 p.m.
