Wonderful! Just Wonderful!

Nice pictures & articles!

C Q On-line Magazine, July Issue , has some terrific articles!Don't miss updates by Pat Winter on Comfort Doll and The Pink Artist projects.
I had some computer issues this month & didn't get all my updated - web site - e-mails. So glad I checked this site today!

Fun Trip to Bookstore ...

It is here ... in my hands, this issue full of awesome creations ...IMO-- very nice article w/pictures on crazy quilting dolls!!

WOOT!!!

AND I HAVE FACES!!

I'm so thrilled. My sketches of faces were terrible. So ugly -- and I don't mean, "they are so ugly, they are cute", I mean ... they werent' good : ( Local bead shop was going to a trade show in early February & owner was aware of the Comfort Doll Project & said she'd pick up some 'faces'..... meanwhile, Thx Monique for lending me a hand. You are very kind : )

And, eventually, I am going to have a finished doll for the Comfort Doll Project. I have been gathering up some 'ingredients' and look forward to creating something special.

AND, I still hope to get a 2" x 2" square done for the art doll to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I pulled out some Pink material [I don't own much] and some fibers, beads, etc. I need some inspiration & free time to participate. Needs to be mailed by March 1, 2008

Art Dolls!!!

Bought this magazine from Barnes and Noble WOW! It is fab. Good paper stock for starters ... and the pictures are out-of-sight. If you don't get any ideas from ONE ISSUE -- you are just brain dead. LOL








I went to their web page to see if they have the next issue available. Lucky me. Maybe the next issue will be on the shelf in a week or so.:

Back Issue:

Thx to Marjorie for sharing a picture of her dolls. She sent it via e-mail. Now, she made some creative and interesting dolls for the project!!! And colorful. And delightful. And -- she does not have a blog [boo hoo ... she should have one] EVERY creative person on the planet should blog. Do you hear me???
---------------------------------------------------------

From the Public Library: I found a couple books on dolls ... sculpting, sewing, creating. More like .... now that you've seen the finished product -- here are a few ways to get started & some tips for doll making. Not exactly what I was looking for ... but a good start!! For the Comfort Doll Project, P.Winter wants dolls up to 6". Yeah, I think I can do that.

Decent book review HERE on Linda's Blog.


After I finish up a gift I'm stitching up [no, no pictures, don't want to spoil the fun] I'll give these art dolls a try.

OK, now that I've read all about Comfort Doll Project ... I'm going to try and make some dolls. I'd like to participate. OK, I have no idea what I'm doing ... if anybody has suggestions or hints, please comment!!!

First off, I will have to figure out how to draw a face & what to use -- what kind of marker works on fabric??

Yeah, I'm down to the basics. I'm sure to have some fabric scraps & beads ... hmmmmm

all for a good cause
