We Came, We Saw, We Swapped

On Thursday October 11th, Rainbow Dolls had their monthly meeting, this time at Blue Haze in Chesham.  Stupidly, yours truly booked the day off work and bought tickets for the Knitting & Stitching Show at Ally Pally for the same day.  Yes, I am a moron sometimes.  So Mavis did the head honcho-ing duties and gave a talk on her method for constructing fist-sized heads after the method of Lisa Lichtenfels.

Jill, Maureen and Mavis brought dolls for the swap with Patti Culea's club members.  Jill's goddess featured lovely draped and beaded clothing.

Maureen made a snake goddess, who can be detached from her "snake throne." Maureen says that the eventual new owner of this goddess might like to do some more beading on her or her throne.

Mavis created a blue goddess, called "A goddess of the wild blue yonder".  She was made as a result of a printing, painting and stamping class with Sherrill Kahn.

Mavis also made a green goddess, named "A garden goddess from across the sea," which was also made after the Sherrill Kahn class.

Shashi, made a mermaid sea goddess that she posted on her blog, click here to see it.

A number of or other long distance members participate via the Yahoo Group.  Maybe if we're good we'll get sent some links to photos of these dolls?  If you fancy joining our Yahoo Group their is a nifty Join button at the bottom right side of my blog.

I've already posted my primitive style, British babe created out of the Star Spangled Banner Sheet music which I printed on fabric then painted with the Stars and Stripes.  But here she is again. I obviously, took a slightly different interpretation of the Across the Sea theme.  I was going for that 'special relationship' angle.

A couple of new members also joined in on the fun on Thursday.  We'd love to have more fresh victims, e-mail me if you are interested.  We don't bite and are only slightly crazy.
