Discussion for plans for our May meeting were about a spirit doll and working with the INfiber textile art group. Katie brought in an idea from Pinterest that we might be able to use. She also had made face molds that could be used.

The program for March was presented by Andrea. She gave an excellent program complete with samples of jointed dolls she has made over the last several years. One of her references was the book "Anatomy of a Doll" by Susanna Oroyan.
