This is of course life and it didn;t include any creative endeavor such as, pattern making, fabric sculpting or art in general. I did managed to get enough sculpting done for one Christmas show. I had to push myself through every stitch. Every artist goes through this. Life happens and when you get back to art you just can't be creative. I thought I would never get my mojo back but to my surprise I did. This is about not giving up. Just push yourself through the mind block weather you want to or not. </p><p> <span> </span>My husband collects dragons, I make him at least one a year. Several weeks before Christmas I sat down and drew out a dragon pattern. My heart was not it it nor was I in the mood. There was no more time to waist. I must admit the pattern was not thought out very well. I usually spend several weeks thinking it through. After cutting, sewing, messing around with the results it was obvious the parts and pieces were better suited for a sea horse than a dragon. I chucked all the parts in my abandon body parts box. (I can tell you about that box at another time).</p><p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7m1Mfz0oJYsBCUcjUYLLTn1KU-N8_acPckqIva8Lvc02T77_z8oUWuSgstyVLsh0OAMtHp3EDRL0fc92pMd0b_zujH40UAFLiRWF_U8isjxmi73rMKYLKuZRU_NhF_NdIw-Tb01fFWJm8b0rBuFD8j-0mHYHPSuIqFCzY7zNZUWkehDjflqzfNfv1ag/s2238/20221218_dragonwhite1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2238" data-original-width="1648" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7m1Mfz0oJYsBCUcjUYLLTn1KU-N8_acPckqIva8Lvc02T77_z8oUWuSgstyVLsh0OAMtHp3EDRL0fc92pMd0b_zujH40UAFLiRWF_U8isjxmi73rMKYLKuZRU_NhF_NdIw-Tb01fFWJm8b0rBuFD8j-0mHYHPSuIqFCzY7zNZUWkehDjflqzfNfv1ag/s320/20221218_dragonwhite1.jpg" width="236" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pined together and ready for assemblage </td></tr></tbody></table><br />I took some time and thought about the style and type of dragon I wanted to make, I then sat down with more resolve and purpose. Taking a breath thinking each body part through I went back to the drawing table. Not only did I draw out body parts, I drew out more parts than I needed just incase I wanted to change the design. When in the middle of sculpting I don't like to stop and make more pieces. The pieces I don't use always go into the "Abandon Body Part" box. =t. </p><p>I like to sculpt details giving texture, It comes to life and gives it depth. Each pieces is wired for strength, including the claws. As the individual parts were sculpted I started to feel my creative juices flowing. I just could not wait to get it done. I am always excited when I making a new sculpture and this feeling was a welcoming feeling.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqLUpkGv6bCse5GfrA886TRNMiFDzzS6K7E8fjSfK6o-UyMba7WvmaToTCr_gqs_mjU3jEpTE1qbzxSNdllYxRr3bEkfTlcMXy1RnalLUqzRsiyLga2d4eJtPSpWVJud6OTzqUqlT4gVGps3CWg-946XjBLxqwNvMcbeKDCB9QLoOE4Z3zVApGi5deg/s1482/20230120_152443~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></a><span style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqLUpkGv6bCse5GfrA886TRNMiFDzzS6K7E8fjSfK6o-UyMba7WvmaToTCr_gqs_mjU3jEpTE1qbzxSNdllYxRr3bEkfTlcMXy1RnalLUqzRsiyLga2d4eJtPSpWVJud6OTzqUqlT4gVGps3CWg-946XjBLxqwNvMcbeKDCB9QLoOE4Z3zVApGi5deg/s1482/20230120_152443~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1482" data-original-width="1074" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqLUpkGv6bCse5GfrA886TRNMiFDzzS6K7E8fjSfK6o-UyMba7WvmaToTCr_gqs_mjU3jEpTE1qbzxSNdllYxRr3bEkfTlcMXy1RnalLUqzRsiyLga2d4eJtPSpWVJud6OTzqUqlT4gVGps3CWg-946XjBLxqwNvMcbeKDCB9QLoOE4Z3zVApGi5deg/w464-h640/20230120_152443~2.jpg" width="464" /></a></div><br /></span></div></span></div><p></p><p>I am no longer Dragan my attitude around the Dragon So if you are dragging around with you creative slump, keep on trying, I just about gave up but here I am, at the completion on this project I am renewed and ready to dive into my sketch book and see which sketches I can make come to life.

This year I decided to make him a dragon 9 days before Christmas. I would make a small one....What was I thinking! I worked on it in secret. I would get up at night and work on it for several hours into the early morning. I would work on it when he went out. Near the end when I was painting it finally I had to forbid him to be around me. It was finished December 24th! <p></p><p>I thought just keep it small. Which I did, I drew a body pattern out only 10 inches long and the legs to match the size of the body. I knew that the sculpting would cause it to reduce in size. there were 4 legs 2 wings and a basic head to account for also.. Every scale and indentation in the dragon was sculpted with needle and thread. Sculpting in the black thread have me a better visual as to the size of the scales. This way the size of the scales could be reduced as the went down to the tail.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgL68-SlVxtFNWmUlBF1nirtORN6i1kU-TY7jG18nKxGvxULS9ZHtvXvQmfDUtuX3oU8SXMqAkxAlGtXbeyuT1LpDdPElZKwy9ZkFCWzGh9IGfqAt4bgmvThY2g7g4gTH7-Nqztgu6xOBsWj0cWNWzevAdIaZ3PJ6LK_cg3UBlBK3OoWkHXolSVTRfKLw=s2971" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2639" data-original-width="2971" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgL68-SlVxtFNWmUlBF1nirtORN6i1kU-TY7jG18nKxGvxULS9ZHtvXvQmfDUtuX3oU8SXMqAkxAlGtXbeyuT1LpDdPElZKwy9ZkFCWzGh9IGfqAt4bgmvThY2g7g4gTH7-Nqztgu6xOBsWj0cWNWzevAdIaZ3PJ6LK_cg3UBlBK3OoWkHXolSVTRfKLw=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br />The head was a bit different. There was a base the eyes, eyelids, nose, lips, horns upper and lower head was added as I built it up with fabric and sculpting as I went. <p></p><p>The wings were added after they were individual sculpted. The dragons tail, body and head have a single armature the wings have their own armature.</p><p>I loved the way he turned out.<br /><br />t turned out!

I decided to make them into a pattern. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span> </span>I redrew the pattern out on the computer so that the lines are clean.

Oh my gosh the head. I have made hundreds of these heads over the years, Why couldn't I get the exact shape right? First time to small next time to big then too fat.

In April <a href="https://stampington.com/art-doll-autumn-halloween-special-edition/">Stampington Magazine</a> asked for submissions for Autumn Art dolls due to popular demand they were going to put an Autumn addition. I sent in one autumn doll and two Halloween art dolls. All three pieces of my art were accepted. This is the cover of the soon to be released Art Doll magazine, coming out on September 1, 2021. Figurative cloth and clay artist have missed the eye candy offered by different artist published in this publication. I am delighted to be a part of this issue. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I had so much fun making all of these. The Punkin Patch, the autumn doll was made into a pattern for Soft Dolls & Animals magazine in 2014 and this year just released to <a href="https://dollmakersjourney.com/sieving.html">Dollmakers Journey's online</a> store. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLhKSFw8LUTCpjUbDqc3HuiicjKhJCi1_u4glCz7_p368fpbthBvc5nxgrgaQetavR5YvTXN0BFaJu680dtb1hbb8dZ3xW02ETPUbLqrHEopMe3FMmEqQrxaxgS_3dBzaovK-QVJyWoBm/s2048/Frank+%2526+Franky.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1158" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLhKSFw8LUTCpjUbDqc3HuiicjKhJCi1_u4glCz7_p368fpbthBvc5nxgrgaQetavR5YvTXN0BFaJu680dtb1hbb8dZ3xW02ETPUbLqrHEopMe3FMmEqQrxaxgS_3dBzaovK-QVJyWoBm/w226-h400/Frank+%2526+Franky.jpg" width="226" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br />I love Halloween and am always making fun things to set about the house in the fall.

Writing patterns for cloth dolls comes second hand to me after years of practice. This time adding that second element of painting was a new step I had to get it right. I simply had way to much fun making them over and over again, using different color combinations. If you purchase Art Dolls Special addition you can see how the colors differ slightly and details change to make them come alive even more so then originally designed.</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM-w2f6OT-we0RA7iOQwckgy47FgbgYDa_kL9XK9d-D0UhujdNlfg-K01UNJYbEfZCMuMaF3b2j-I9NL-XW6QF7lO6XfStm1DBuDek8VX3XnssPv8k2I4q5ezctVJrrBHcaw4pwpULYKB7/s2048/IMG_1191+Janet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM-w2f6OT-we0RA7iOQwckgy47FgbgYDa_kL9XK9d-D0UhujdNlfg-K01UNJYbEfZCMuMaF3b2j-I9NL-XW6QF7lO6XfStm1DBuDek8VX3XnssPv8k2I4q5ezctVJrrBHcaw4pwpULYKB7/s320/IMG_1191+Janet.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">Two more sets of Frank and Frankie came in. this one is from Janet McMullen.

I have people that shop at my booth that like the little quirky things I do with my dolls so well as I said once I started I couldn't stop making them.

I hope it goes and everyone is safe. I've had my shots never the less I will be wearing a masks to make my customers feel at ease. I am not as scary as the things I make for the show. (laugh).

I love to create new wicked labels for my old wine bottles, Make weird and fun bottle holders and wine toppers for them. Here is a look as to what I love doing with wine bottles. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvuKNNn4Mn-E0qQuEifHNgU4567V8zZXHN82-KdDEMnpWZnhO5SCRsap4BntMdI4y-aQPjD4o2Tev6Fjwr2H2QVnEfX3gSrqU-p-OyMJxZvUz1vl4Q7VuiMuWXmRD1oe-o1Hx5G0dQgXXq/s1600/Wine+bottles+uf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1579" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvuKNNn4Mn-E0qQuEifHNgU4567V8zZXHN82-KdDEMnpWZnhO5SCRsap4BntMdI4y-aQPjD4o2Tev6Fjwr2H2QVnEfX3gSrqU-p-OyMJxZvUz1vl4Q7VuiMuWXmRD1oe-o1Hx5G0dQgXXq/s320/Wine+bottles+uf.jpg" width="315" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have 20 Wine bottle holders ready to be painted. Often I don't take pictures of my work pre-painted but I am going to try and do better. I have designed and sewn up 20 holders and hand sewn applying different eerie eyes, human, reptile and cat eyes to the holders. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Zippers are Heavy duty zippers designed for Jeans. As you can see the holders are sewn by machine and all the seams have been fortified with a top stitch (zig-zag)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After all the machine work is done the selected eyes are incapsiled in fabric forming the upper and lower lid. Then the partial frame of the face is sculpted and applied to the holder.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK7-agICe7RU_xbynNk0Q5OzZOJDIHvG391Sy5-gW0xugfpM4d8xeDTSDyJw3r37I6e7JCownSE057_cPMUXkJTbQtQMyVTd-IPa3bt_eNYL8VVt9_AyIkv05x1xFi076nnhdGB7RO6Hmo/s1600/Wine+bottle+holder+done.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1169" data-original-width="788" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK7-agICe7RU_xbynNk0Q5OzZOJDIHvG391Sy5-gW0xugfpM4d8xeDTSDyJw3r37I6e7JCownSE057_cPMUXkJTbQtQMyVTd-IPa3bt_eNYL8VVt9_AyIkv05x1xFi076nnhdGB7RO6Hmo/s400/Wine+bottle+holder+done.jpg" width="268" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The final work begins. I turn all the bottles inside out and gesso the inside of the holders allow them to dry, then sand them. Turning them right side out the outside is gessoed, sanded painted with a base coat, sanded and dry brushed with about 3 to 4 different colors in paint. In this sample you see the colors chosen are rust green, sand and gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now every holder comes with a bottle sporting a nifty label.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdIoX8bqp-axuxYnTAVQVPXyPyUTLBKFzIHvgpLp8Jkp6Y3rKk8tHYR77tmFt2GSCV6CyESoF1p9uQEn5w7F7nlHRjwhJgiNRt9ln5WoBodsnietcyClBTYb4Np_CS3boiMu0wt9BB91C/s1600/Wine+sampler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="816" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdIoX8bqp-axuxYnTAVQVPXyPyUTLBKFzIHvgpLp8Jkp6Y3rKk8tHYR77tmFt2GSCV6CyESoF1p9uQEn5w7F7nlHRjwhJgiNRt9ln5WoBodsnietcyClBTYb4Np_CS3boiMu0wt9BB91C/s400/Wine+sampler.jpg" width="202" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The gesso and many layers of paint make it water resistant. The holders look and feel like leather.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also make cool bottle toppers sculpted with epoxy sculpt. This is a hard drying epoxy which can withstand just about anything you can throw at it. Including throwing it. It is a 2 part epoxy that must be mixed. The epoxy gives you about 3 hours sculpting time before it is so hard you can no longer work the clay. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This bottle sits in a candle holder with the corks slipped into the tapered candle holders that surrounds the wine bottle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The shrunken heads are only one of many heads I make along with trolls, Krampus, and other things that go bump in the knight. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am thinking of doing some that are a bit more merry and a little less scary but I have to have the inspiration hit me first. </span><br />

Okay Paper Arts are not my forte. But with good teachers, proper instruction and a theme you can do pretty good. I have long admired the Art work of Dr. Louis Crusius. When I was told that Peggy and Patti were to teach a Paper Art project in my art group....well I was skeptical how I would do. I decided right off I would do something Halloween! With a theme now I had to gather the paper to go with it. I immediately thought of Dr. Crusius and began gathering pictures of his work. <br />

Collecting items and paper that would go with the theme proved to be time consuming but fun. <br />
<br />
This is a Cardboard book that closes.Different size boxes were glued on both sides of the inter book box and the top and bottom boxes had to match up exactly when closed. It was challenging to say the least.<br />

dreams like?” “How do you come up with
this stuff?” Honestly, I don’t know.
Sometimes I make things from my sketches, but more times than not I just
start. </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I have taken many clay sculpting classes over the years. It helps me to think like a clay sculptress when I am working with fabric. </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"> It also has taught me to love sculpting in clay as well. </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I hope you enjoy this display of work in fabric here today. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">When making a </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">creature
or person it takes a course of several weeks, sometimes months. I make a body or head and just follow where it takes me.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> B</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">uilding on the base of the head or body on the fabric as you would with clay.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Instead of shaping the clay and applying
it</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I make my fabric shape and then
apply it to the head or body.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I love
working this way. It is a technique I have used as a self taught method I call "Face and Body Building" .</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Half way through I’m
pretty sure what it is to become.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It is
just more satisfying to me as an artist to allow the piece to inspire me and
not for me to inspire the art.</span></div>

unique and interesting art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> When I am finished the sculpting process I gesso the artwork, sand it and a base coat of paint, sand it again, paint it then detail the figure. It is a lot of work but it looks like clay and feels like leather. </span></span><br />

Poppet Ornaments</h3>
Starting in 2003 through 2019 have promoted and ran Artistic Figures in Cloth and Clay art convention. The convention and working a full time job, family time and creating art work for several shows a year was a challenge. I finally decided to give somethings up. I wanted to start a new chapter in my life. 2020 it is about family, friends and creating art, in that order! I am leaving my job in July and am no longer running the convention. Giving the accounting job up is not as hard as giving up running an artist convention was difficult.. I made so many friends. The diversity in arts and teachers was inspiring.<br />

Ending 2019 I did the ChristmasFair in Columbus, Ohio. I have two favorite artistic mind stations. <b>"Very Merry" verses "Weird & Scary".</b> Right in the middle of trying to get ready for ChristmasFair " my creative mind dove right into "Weird & Scary" The worst time right, It was not time for Weird but I could not get it off my mind. I was making these fun Poppet ornaments for the Christmas tree when the devilish side just got into me.<br />
<br />
I was compelled to stop and created some new designs. Justifying the switch to being okay as I had to present a class to my Art club. This would give the members a choice, an adorable elf or a cute devil. I did finish the Christmas Poppets - Angels, Cats and Elves. I am now working on a theme for Halloween ornaments. I will bring more of them to life as I get them done.<br />
<br />
The Poppet ornaments are designed to resemble the European Poppets (puppets) child toys. <br />

When Layl was 17 she saw modern art for the first time on a family trip to Washington DC and New York City. She was extremely excited about the endless possibilities of mixed media when she saw pop art that used everyday objects and oil painting and whatever else. Suddenly her creativity was unleashed, art was more than just painting and drawing. She could make ANYTHING! Her senior year of high school was spent making numerous sculptures that were both 3D and 2D at the same time- a lot like pop up sculptures that are always popped up.</div>

After a year of creating an attic full of sculptures she decided to be more practical and choose a major that had actual job prospects. She majored in illustration in art school at the Columbus College of Art and Design with plans to write and illustrate children’s books but the mixed media materials she used in the community outreach programs she taught continued to intrigue her. Layl did illustrate three books for a small publishing company in Columbus, Ohio but the restraints of working on a flat surface were too frustrating.</div>

When Layl found success selling her art at arts festivals even when she was still in art school she began to realize conventional illustration was not her real love. She found she could actually make a living making what she really loved to make. Layl made Story Boxes, Story Quilts, Story Scraps, and Story Vests made of fabric, found objects, and polymer clay. Over the years polymer clay has become her dominant medium. </div>

In the past few years she has worked primarily in clay creating series of work that tell stories about her life as a mother. She still uses mixed media objects as accents and enjoys working with kids using her collections of found materials. Even though she is not creating the work herself it’s exciting to see a pile of stuff transform into creatures, settings and to see the stories come to life.</div>

<br />
It is all about taking existing fabrics you have dyed or purchased and altering the fabrics with different techniques. Use those very fabrics to cover a pre-cut poster board paper doll.<br />
<br />
The icing on the cake is the face. Choose to do a face transfer of you or someone you love OR use one of Stephanie's Clay faces.<br />

Debbie Jackson has broken rules and pushed the boundaries
when it comes to artistic innovation and polymer clay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her techniques are extraordinarily unique. The

We are so very fortunate to have Debbie teaching classes at
AFICC. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She really brings clay to

polymer but they have not dived into the world of colored clays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ask you to throw caution to the wind and
jump, because Debbie has so much to offer you will think in living color and how
you can use these techniques to create footwear, bags, clothing, fantasy
creatures and much more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">It’s
my pleasure to introduce a few of the instructors from the April 23 – 26, 2015
Artistic Figures in Cloth & Clay convention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The event is held every other year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 23rd of April is kicked off of the 3 day
event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This extravaganza is designed for
art doll artist and enthusiast. The workshops are chosen with much care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each instructor has their own style and
appeal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing I am very particular
about is to make sure there is something for everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each class is unique with plenty of
techniques for students to add to their bag of tricks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This next class is no exception. It is not
clay and it is not cloth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
something that we all need to learn the basics of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How build, use tools and how to use a rotary
tools. This one tool can drill, sand, slice and dice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can carve and burrow. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike is going to have his students build this
stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the project your world
opens up to building platforms, alters, stages and arena to show case your art
projects<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Girls
Can Can</i> is all made from wood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
workshop has a double meaning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Las
Vegas girls are doing the Can Can!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
true meaning is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Girls Can Can</i> use
tools you only need to be shown how.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is why we have invited Mike Sieving to AFICC to teach a one day
class for those that want to become comfortable with simple rotary tools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are like me you have to find something
that fits your need in which can be adapted to a platform.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is until I just bit the bullet and
learned how to use my Dremel tools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike
is all about putting you at easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He grew
up using tools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time you finish
cutting, sanding and shaping your project you will say Gee Whiz what was so
intimidating about that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>
