Art on Main, Jenks:
Oct 8th, Sat. 10-6pm This is where we will sell our pin dolls for a fund raiser for the club. You can talk to Laurie or Jayne if you want to sit and if you want to sell some of your own work.
Charity Dolls:
We still need people to make charity dolls. Recently Barbara took some to a shelter. This is a very good thing.
Leta Benedict's class is Oct 14th and 15th at 9am. The doll is stunning and the fee is $60.00 with a $35.00 kit fee. The pattern and supply list will be sent to Jean soon, see her recent e-mail... If you are mailing a check make it out to Tulsa Dolling Dames. You have until the next meeting to pay. (Oct. 5) Jean is ordering 20 gourds for the class which will need to be cleaned and cut. Jack is going to help out with the cutting. Jack is going to make some bases also so discuss this with him if you want one.
NEW BUSINESS:
Voting for 2012 teachers.
We discussed 3 teachers for a 2 day workshop next year, one in March and one in Oct. Sherry Goshon, Leslie Molen and Nancy Gawron. Sherry was voted to do our workshop in March.
Laurie sent emails for each teachers site so you could decide who you would like to have come. We have yet to decide on October's teacher so if you would like to choose who you want to teach please visit their sites again and we will vote next meeting who we want for Oct.
Voted for Pam to be our Treasurer:
Barbara has had some health problems and has resigned as treasurer. Take it a bit easier Barbara. We know you put a lot into the club as it is.
Jayne brought the library today. Daria brought give aways.
Door Prize was made by Doreen and won by Carlyn. It was a darling little doll. Carlyn says she is a "first time winner"!
Carlyn gave a wonderful program on making a paper clay mask over a styroform ball. It was quite a interesting way of doing a face and she made it pretty fast. Thanks Carlyn you did a great job.
December we will have a holiday display at the Hardesty Library.
Shirley gave us a great report of her trip to NIADA and brought some goodies to show us.
I may have missed some dolls this month (had to rush back to work).Now we're looking forward to our October workshop with Leta Benedict! Be sure and check back to see the results!
