Our program this meeting was on coloring a cloth doll face based on a video by Patti Culea titled "Cloth Doll Making" available to purchase online at Dollmaker's Journey. Her video is extremely well done and very helpful on many aspects of making a cloth doll.
Next Meeting
Our next club meeting is September 21. Payments for Show and Sale tables ($15 per person) are due at the September meeting. Maggie will be taking the payments. The program will be about how to put hair on your doll and finishing techniques. Techniques such as wefting, felting, and use of Tibetan Lambs hair will be shown. This will complete our doll making series and completed dolls will be presented at our November meeting.
