Recently my Theater Dolls had the
honor of being in a local art show.
It was an exciting event for me to
be a part of!
I was entered into the 3D category and
The experience was a fun one.
I had 3 dolls entered:
My Ballet Doll
The Baroque Doll
and Madelyn the Christmas Doll.
It was fascinating seeing all the different
types of art in the show.
I took some quick snapshots of
the show.
This is the prize winner in the
3d catagory that I was a part of.
These were handmade vintage
Christening Gowns. Very beautiful.

The all around prize winner of the show
was for the painting you see of the Jazz
Musician.
There were lots of interesting entries.
Many different styles of art.
A really exciting thing happened
at the show.
A lady walked up to
me and said "Well looks like you've
taken the prize of "the most sold" today".
I said "What do you mean?"
She said "You sold all three of your
dolls... to the same buyer.
I was in total shock, I didn't have a clue.
I was in total shock, I didn't have a clue.
She said "AND she's a doll collector and
has over 3000 dolls. Once she likes your
dolls she becomes a repeat buyer."
Once again in total shock.!
I was introduced to the buyer
and she wanted to come home with me
and see my other dolls.
(Thank God I keep the house tidy!)
So she came and browsed through my
studio and spotted some things for
future purchases.
I looked at her hubby at one point and
said quietly "I'm sorry", in a kidding way.
He replied "That's okay, I'll just build
around them!" What a sweet thing to say.
It was lots of fun being a part of an
art show and meeting new people.

I've also had a recent sale of one of my
paper peacocks...
to a gal that wanted to transform it
into a mask.
She sent me some photos of what she created.
They make a lovely couple!
Hope she won a prize for BEST MASK
EVER!!
Well that's all from my little studio
for now.
Remember the HOLIDAYS are FAST
approaching and we have some
fine Etsy Shops on our sidebar for
you to click on and browse.
You might find that perfect gift that
everyone will "Oooo and Aaaah" over!
Hope you're having a wonderful Fall.
