Today's meeting we had show and tell of the Angels we made from the Sherry Goshen's pattern. They were displayed in various stages of completion. As some of the members continued to work on their angels, we discussed different topics such as books we've read or would like to have regarding dollmaking, techniques we would like to learn or have learned. Dollmaking is not always the topic. We also share life experiences as we work on our dolls. We share, we laugh and have a good time.
Zaida is admiring the angel made by Jean. Zaida also brought 2 doll figures made with a wired figure dressed like brides. They were gifts made for a sweet sixteen celebration. Both were beautiful pieces. Below Sandi demonstrates how to use a very useful gadget called a needle threader. 
Deborah is holding a doll made by Jean. Jean refers to this doll as her "Hoochie" doll. She told us a hilarious story of when she took the class offered by Kookie Davis at the Wee Folk Conference back in 2000.
As the meeting wound down, we discussed what we would be doing for our next meeting. We will be working with clay and learning how to make clay faces using push molds. We will also be making clay hands and shoes. We are all looking forward to next month's meeting.

Ladies, we look good and the dolls don't look half bad either :)
Venus, you did a bang-up job on the site.
