May Meeting of Dolls with Arty Attitudes

Our meeting for May was on the 4th Thursday of the month due to schedule conflicts and then we still had schedule conflicts! 

Charlie has been busy making dolls.  She has a wedding coming up so she made bride & groom dolls similar to ones she saw in the current Art Doll Quarterly magazine.  They were quite clever.
The groom's tuxedo is a wine wrap that she found on sale.  The bride's gown is simple and lovely.

Our Challenge for May/June is to make the Piper doll from Soft Dolls & Animals magazine.  Charlie and Lisa finished theirs.  In fact Lisa made two!  

Lisa's two dolls.  She did a wonderful job and creatively used fabric for the hair.
 
Here is Charlie with her Piper riding a dragon.  The dragon pattern also came from Soft Dolls & Animals.  Lisa is hidden behind the dragon.
 
When all the Pipers are done (there are three more to be completed)  we will send pictures to Soft Dolls & Animals magazine for their pattern contest.  Our dolls all have a common element but are so different. 
 
June meeting is on the 3rd Thursday - 6/20 - 6:30 p.m. Crossroads Mall. 
Come join us!
