August Show & Tell

Lazy Summer Days! But our Dames have been busy finishing dolls begun months ago and making new ones. Here are some wonderful creations presented at our August meeting.


This is Laura's mermaid from the Arley Berryhill workshop.


Another of Laura's dolls. Her outfit is a beautiful, repurposed blouse.




Jayne's ribbon-winning doll from last year's state fair.






Janis finished her mythical creature from Linda Misa's workshop.



This is Doreen's work in progress, the Paris pattern by Sherry Goshon. We worked on this pattern together at our recent workshop. Hopefully we'll be seeing more "Paris" dolls next month.


Another of Doreen's lovelies.



Lisa made the door prize. She was won by Janis. (we're going to stop letting Janis buy door prize tickets; she's had quite a winning streak!)


She's just cute as a button!


Carlyn presented the program. She did a hands-on demonstration of how to make clay teeth for your dolls. She brought several of her own toothy dolls as examples.



His feet were just too cute; had to show them!





That's all for August! Please visit us again in September.

  1. My mother-in-law used to make dolls. She is now deceased and I have many, many porcelain doll heads, doll bodies, wigs and clothes. Would your group be able to use these? I would be glad to bring them to a meeting and leave them with you. Thank you.

  3. Dear Dollowner, thank you for the kind offer. You are very welcome to join us for the next Saturday meeting (Sept 3). We would love to meet you! Somebody may be interested, or know someone else, who would be interested in the items you mentioned. For the most part, our dollmakers work in sculpted fabric and some clay. Most of them don't make porcelain dolls. But I don't want to speak for anybody, so please join us & feel free to bring whatever you wish.
