3rd Place at Tulsa State Fair

Here is my third place winner, the topsy turvey doll. She is the 4 season's doll and really is 4 dolls in one. My entry Snow Queen (below) won Best in Show, so I am really thrilled that the judges liked them.

Fishing for Dreams



This is my doll this week. I love making the patterns and learn something new with each one. This doll has hands of Prosculpt which Jean showed us in our class on Sat.'s Playday. These are my first hands and hope to get better in my next attempt. The pattern for this doll is by D. J Endokimona, "Fishing For Dreams". Hope you like her. Shirley

Hardesty Library Display


Our Dolling Dames have a display at the Hardesty Library & altho the picture DOES NOT do justice to the beautiful dolls it is one event the club show to the community what art cloth dolls are about. The Hardesty display is how I learned about the doll club and shortly after joined this amazing group. I never thought I could make dolls like theirs but they assured me I could. I have been doing it now for over a year and have succeeded beyond what I thought I could do but there is still soooo much to learn. We will also show our dolls at the Tulsa State Fair.
