Dolls with Arty Attitudes - October 18th

Our Soft Dolls & Animals challenge dolls were in many stages of 'idea' to 'start' to 'full dolls'.  This picture shows the stages of our dolls so far.  There will be 5 completed dolls next meeting.
                         Same pattern, very different dolls! 

Japanese Paper Dolls



Lisa brought a couple of dolls made from Japanese paper.  She and Susie took a classs to learn the technique.  Both of Lisa's dolls are adorable.  According to Susie "it is the hardest thing to do!"

Witch Sister

 

Jan shared a witch she made several years ago.  The witch was perfect for October the Halloween month!

October Meeting

The October meeting for Dolls with Arty Attitudes is Thursday (3rd Thursday of the month) October 18th.  6:30 P.M. at Crossroads Mall Center Court near the King County Library branch.

We have a couple of challenges for this month.  Our big project, which will cover two months (so we can do an extra special job) is to make "Verna" from the Soft Dolls & Animals magazine - Nov 2012.

She is an intermediate level doll -with lots of small pieces-  to push us on our skill level and yet lots of room for creativity for each of us to showcase our individual doll making styles.  For the October meeting we are to bring our "Verna" in what ever stage she is in at the time.  Oh! this will be so much fun!! 

When our dolls are all completed in November we will do a group photo to submit to Soft Doll & Animals magazine for their "You Did What" section.

Our second challenge is Show & Tell for HALLOWEEN.  Old or new.  What dolls have we made in the theme of Halloween? 

If you are in the Bellevue Washington area Thursday evening - please join us with your show & tell.
