Business
Leslie talked about our joint meeting with Doll Circle of Indianapolis in May. Everyone thought it was a great success. Next year Indy Art Doll Makers will host.
Round Robin dolls were exchanged. The next assignment is to give the doll hair, and we will exchange again at the July meeting.
Program
Andrea presented the June program on techniques for making successful tiny doll hands. Turning tiny fingers can be extremely frustrating, but Andrea showed us several tips and tricks to make it work. From stitching, cutting out, to turning and wiring and stuffing and sculpting, she covered it all. It was an amazing presentation! Thank you, Andrea, for sharing your techniques to success!
