I have been doing some quilting but today I want to share about my sister, Irene, the doll artist. She is the one who started me quilting but now days she spends more time making dolls.
My very talented sister Irene is a member
of the High Country Doll Artists. For the past few years she has taken a
week long workshop with art doll teacher Ankie Daanen. You can find more about
her here.
The
end of September the doll group had a booth at West Jefferson’s “Art on the
Mountain” day. Here are the dolls she
had for sale there.
I love
her dolls! They range from magnificent
art dolls with parts sculpted from air dry clay which is hand painted to more
simple fabric dolls. Something that
makes all of her dolls special is the time she spends to embellish each and
create their unique personality. You can see more of her dolls and those of
other members on their Facebook page.
In the
past I have shared some of her dolls from the group’s exhibit at the Arts
Council. You can find those posts here and here.
Enjoy
some time sewing and quilting.
