Barbara Willis Class - Day One

Just a quick note before I go to bed. I had a lot of fun today. Started out with going over to the gal's house where Barbara Willis is staying and she taught 3 of us how to make the shoes for the doll we're going to start on tomorrow. Then out to lunch and to set up the classroom. Stopped in at JoAnne's fabric and bought some gauzy fabric that made me totally change my idea for tonight's flat doll. Class was fun - it was the first time Barbara taught this particular piece in a class setting. We made the torso out of paper backed with cardboard - did some fun stuff with inks, made some tags, stamped on ribbon, then embellished the paper torso with lace, ribbon, and buttons. Gathered some fabric for the skirt but I pulled it off when I got home because my fabric was too wide and it got too bunchy to hang against the wall. I'll finish it up sometime next week. Tomorrow morning we start sculpting. I can't wait!
