Hi everyone I know it has been a long time since my last post . That is because I have been busy living the creative life ,working on Dolls , playing with Paper, planting my Hippie garden and meeting new people .
Speaking of Meeting New People ..I met Linda Misa !!! Yes Linda Misa from Australia !!! She was here in New Jersey giving a 2 day workshop at My friend Stephanie's House . Ten days ago Eight fellow Doll makers joined Linda to create a clay over cloth doll with a slightly prim style ,Modeled after Linda's Doll "Phyllis ".
OMG the workshop was fantastic, Linda Helped each of us bring our doll to life . Linda shared many techniques with us , from working with paper clay to build a dolls face and hair to creating our own fabrics . we even made birds from paper clay . But the number one thing for Me was the method Linda used for painting the doll ...So Cool .. Lets just say I LOVE BLACK GESSO !
Let Me say Thank You Stephanie For setting up the workshop and for hosting it too ,you are the BEST ! .A big hug and Thank you to Linda for giving us a little bit of herself, it was a joy to work on a doll with Linda and I hope our paths do cross again . Oh let me not forget to thank My Hubby Big Ed for giving me the workshop for My birthday . He spoiles me and I love it ... Peace and Love . Heather.
