It involved paper clay, paint, decoupage...
and of course, cloth!
We had scheduled doll artist, Sherry Goshon, to conduct a workshop for us but due to circumstances out of her control, she had to cancel.
So we improvised! We chose a pattern and helped each other. Sherry was in contact with our club president and available to answer questions. The pattern was Sherry's "Paris" doll which had been published in Soft Dolls & Animals magazine.
It turned out to be a very laid back and pleasant way to do a class. We worked, discussed the doll making process, hashed out favorite tv show plots, and reminisced about past club workshops and the techniques we've learned from our wonderful teachers.
We had a brand new doll-maker join us from Lawton, OK. She caught on like she'd been doing this for years!
Most of us made it at least this far. Our Arkansas ladies were already sewing the doll's costume by the end of the weekend.
So be sure to check back after our August meeting. Hopefully we'll have some Paris dolls to show!
