People's Choice Award Winner

Remember the challenge dolls that were judged in October?  Well, they had their very own table at the doll show.
Our White-on-White or Black-on-Black 2010 Challenge Dolls
We collected nearly 90 votes, and the winner was.......

Percival Poulet! shown here with his chicken fan club also made by his creator Julie G.
Percival is made from elinor peace bailey's Chicken Shaman pattern
His harem are really pincushion chicks from a pattern that Katie figured out.  Percival also won the judges challenge and was Judge's Choice as well.  He is our club's first 3-way winner -- he really does just make you smile to see him in person!
   Here are the other challenge dolls:
Count Vladimir Blackula made by Marti, and Snowflake made by Ann R.

Quiddity by Erin

White Winged Wishes by Julie W., and Lilli White by Nita
Lilli White and Quiddity tied for second place; I think this is the first time that has happened, too.  Here are our proud winners:
Nita, Julie G., and Erin

April 2010 Meeting

Our April meeting featured Marti from The Blooming Dragon, her studio/shop across the street from our library, showing us how to work with silver clay.  It turned out to be easier than many of us thought it would be, and we made some beautiful doll-sized buttons, pendants, and charms for our dolls. 

We also added a few charity dolls to our collection.
Lastly, we got to see a few finished show-and-tell items.  Julie G. brought in her Lottie doll from Gail Wilson's class...
and Katie brought in her Cyndi Mahlstadt doll from the recent MM&M workshop!  Katie also had her tasssel doll from the same weekend.
