Trip to Gatlinburg, Tenn. NIADA

Bill and I had a great time at Gatlinburg. Bill was able to travel around and also do a little fishing. He had an adventure with a bear which was a little scary. There were several sightings of bears there. Some at NIADA campus. It was held at Arrowmont Art & Design and was a great place. A little problem for me walking on the hills. Tues and Wed. 9/2009, I took a two day workshop with Leslie Molen. She is a fun teacher and I learned a lot about putting in the eyes, free standing doll, sculping the face.....Here is Pearl Blossom, Li Hua.
