Our second meeting of the year saw the second mini-class for our year-long progressive doll project. Martha taught us to draw lovely features.
Even though our progressive dolls are just getting started, Martha finished one early, as a gift for her granddaughter. She was unfortunately reminded of the importance of sealing the face if you're using water-based colors, but the doll is still a cutie (and might get a makeover to fix her mascara).
Katie brought a doll-in-progress from the online sculpting class she is taking with Deb Wood. We can't wait to see her fully painted!
Just to prove that practice really does make perfect, Katie also brought evidence of the hours she puts into her creations -- a bag o' heads in various stages of needle-sculpting and coloring.
We are a multi-talented group, so we naturally make 'things that are not dolls' every once in a while. Shelby made these lovely socks. which are knitted from the toe up.
Ann R. made this stunning little crazy quilt for her antique doll club, the local chapter of the UFDC. There is a lucky reproduction Jumeau doll that will receive this quilt, pieced from vintage fabrics and beautifully hand-embroidered.
Go home and practice drawing faces, and then put one on your doll! Next month, we'll learn some simple wefting techniques for making doll hair out of all kinds of yarn.
