Present for the August meeting were Mary, Anita, Leslie, Jude, Andrea, Julie W., Peggy, Ann C., and Barbara.
Show and Tell
Barbara completed two fabulous dolls, one a pirate named "Red Geordie Mac" and the other "Drift Away" a beautiful sailor themed lady. The detail she has put into these dolls are amazing and these pictures do not do them justice.

Business
In our previous meeting there was discussion of finding venues to display our art dolls. One of our members suggested the SullivanMunce Cultural Center in Zionsville, IN which has juried exhibits. There is an application process that Andrea told us about. She will collect artists statements from our members and pictures in order to make a group application for us.
Program
Barbara presented a program on how to make beautiful faces. She brought a few books about drawing faces as references for us.

Barbara proceeded to give us tips on doing lips, eyes, shadowing, highlighting, aging and so much more. This was truly an excellent program. Thank you Barbara, for sharing your knowledge and giving us so much inspiration!
