Magdolia is the name of the fabulous doll exhibition I went to today ..One of the teachers I work with makes the most wonderful dolls. She made her first doll 3 years ago at a class and since then she has made over 50 dolls. She wanted to share her dolls with others so with school finished on Friday she had arranged to hire the Community Gallery in town for the weekend and set up her exhibition. It was fabulous to see them all displayed..all the details and some were crafted on well known personalities.
DH drove me into town and he even went in to look at them when he came to pick me up.
I asked if I could take some photos..of course, she said, and it was then I discovered the battery was flat on my camera..so I took some shots on my phone.. wasn't sure how they would turn out..so here are some of the dolls that were on display..
Some of the dolls heads she has made..

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting collection of dolls.
ReplyDeletePrevious blog showed your lace making skills in action-- would love to see some of the lace pieces you have made. It is a difficult skill to master, I would think.
I can see hundreds of hours hand stitching there, fabulous collection. and superb choices of fabrics and accessories. Jean.
