We have been busy working on our project dolls, for which we chose Nicole by Dianna Effner. I have been also working with several 10" girls and have made some duffel coats for them for the cold weather.
See pictures of beaut dolls made by Joan and students. Let me know if you would like to learn this relaxing art. Been doing this for many years now.
I love teaching the art of porcelain dollmaking to enthusiastic students. The sewing machine is permanently set up and I'm thinking of outfit ideas. We concentrate mainly on modern dolls that the ladies seem to prefer, do the occasional reproduction. We have in the past had seminars aimed specifically at making hats, thoroughly enjoyed by all who came. My aim is to teach as much as possible including painted eyes, wigmaking etc. Beware - this is a hobby that can easily become an obsession!!
