Barb Willis Class tomorrow
I'm really looking forward to this weekend! Barbara Willis is here .. she's going to be teaching us two classes.
Tomorrow night we are playing with paper and fabric and making a 'flat doll'. Then on Saturday and Sunday we will be making her "Whisper" doll. She's a wall doll. She has a regular upper body but her lower body is a balloon of fabric and a tassel hangs from the bottom of it. The part that I'm really looking forward to is learning how to sculpt a face mask with Paperclay.
Here's my fabric choices for the doll. The leaves will be the 'balloon' and the arms, the purple will be the torso, and the shiny yellow-orange will be the corset. I dyed all the trims to match. The antique lace in the bottom of the picture didn't take the color as well as I had hoped but it will help lighten the doll as the main fabric is pretty dark. The ribbon is for her hair.

A couple of us are going to take Barb sightseeing tomorrow - although there's not a whole lot to see. She wants to come to North Pole, where I live, to go to the Santa Claus House. It's a great gift shop - plus they have reindeer there for people to gawk at. Not sure what else she wants to do - we'll play it by ear!
Yippee - I get to play dolls ALL WEEKEND!!!!!! My bags are packed, I'm ready to go ....
Oooooo! The color combo is gorgeous! Reminds me of my favorite flowers - pansies - deep and rich! Can't wait to see the doll. Judi, have a BLAST this weekend. I'm glad you get to 'play dolls' and enjoy yourself. Talk to you when you catch up and have a chance to rest after all the excitement. Hugs & more hugs!!!!
Posted by: kai at May 13, 2005 11:55 AMThe colors are lovely. I love purple. Hey do you live in an area where moose wander around? Or within a days drive of any moose. I like moose more then purple and when I'm in an area whewre moose may be I'm up before dawn trying to spot them. I've seen only one in New York in an area where moose are not suppose to be. It was most likly a very lost moose.
