We brought our dolls to the August meeting, having done the paperwork for our entries on-line ahead of time. I may or may not get to the fair before it closes at the end of the month, but my doll got there and so, for that, I am grateful. I AM curious about how she did, but I'm sure that she enjoyed all the attention, regardless of whether she won a blue ribbon or not!!
Another project I have been working on, but not too steadily, are my first "assemblage" dolls. I have been trolling the local thrift stores for suitable materials, having looked at other people's dolls on Pinterest. I even pick up washers, bottle caps and other bits of metal off the parking lots and sidewalks. (I carry hand sanitizer in my car.)
Here is what I have done so far, which is, I agree, not much:
The heads are made of DAS, a kind of air-drying "clay." The bodies are recognizable to wine drinkers as wine bottle openers. I'd have no use for these if I couldn't make them into something else, as I don't
drink wine, even though I've been told how healthy it is.
I will post more photos of these two when I do more work on them. So far, I haven't found anything that strikes me as good for their legs. I guess I should go back to Pinterest and get inspired. It's a great site for that!!
