Just like that, it is easy to enter the Winter Blue show and take a chance on winning a year membership with the IADR. Sounds like a win/win situation to me *smiling*.
For those paying for workshops and/or registration for the convention with Paypal, we have established a process to help with the Paypal Conversion Fee. If paying in euros we can invoice you to avoid having to pay the conversion to US dollars. This option is available to those not wanting to use a credit card. If choosing this option, please contact me at [email protected] and I will send you an invoice.
Limited Edition mini-tote bags are available for those in the USA. Click here for the link: IADR Tote Bag 
There are only two weeks left... are you going to be in the Winter Blue Juried Show? Sign up now as to not miss the March 7th, 2025 Deadline. This juried show is exciting as this will be our first event with the Fiber Art Category, so make sure you mark the right category for your piece to enter. Also, don't forget to register your doll first as you will need the registration number on the form.
The IADR website (on an average without doing anything special), receives over 150 to 190 weekly visits consistently. When we do something special like The People's Choice Event, it shoots up even higher! Today alone there was over 75 unique visits. The Artist's Studio page is also a great backup if you don't have your own website or if you are a Facebook shop. In your Artist's Studio page you can have links to take the potential buyer right to your Etsy shop or any other buying outlet you have for your dolls. It is a perk to you as being a member of IADR!
Our Winter Blue Game on Instagram continues this week. The support has been great and thank you for the wonderful feedback on how much the Sponsor's Gifts have been appreciated. Adelaide Santini will be this week's Sponsor so head on over to Instagram and give her a Follow if you aren't doing so yet. Also, don't forget to get your entry in for the Winter Blue Juried Event. Deadline is March 7th, 2025!
The Winter edition of our magazine is now out and it is packed with lots of exciting artistry and informative articles. Don't forget to read the Bluesky social platform article in the magazine as it explains how easy it is to sign up for Bluesky and the IADR customized Feed.
There is the threat of AI increasing in 2025 in such a way that it will make it harder to be seen or even know what is real or not on these social platforms. What is a doll artist to do? Think ahead to the future. That is partially what the International-Art-Doll-Registry (IADR) does -- especially for it's members. Here are three ways that the IADR helps it's members be recognize as being "Real". 1. When registering your dolls with the IADR before, it was protecting your doll's trademark and authenticity. Now it additionally helps prove that you have created an actual doll and are able to produce it's own unique registration number with the IADR. By doing so, validates that it is not an AI generated image when posting about your doll. 2. By entering the IADR juried shows with your creations, you are again validating that you are a doll artist and your creations are "Real". When social media says that by the end of 2025 we will be having a hard time telling the difference of an AI post and a real person, the juried shows take on a whole new meaning as to why be a part of them. (And just a reminder - the Winter Blues juried show and Instagram Game are going on right now!) 3. The IADR Art Doll Magazine is also going to be playing a part of validating the doll artist. This is where the Doll Artist can share their work in progress, share their dolls, and be again recognized as being a real live human creating their art, not any AI generated images. Any IADR member is always welcomed to share their art in our magazine. These three ways are just the building blocks that create the foundation of the IADR Community. Because, as a community, we help each other to learn, be supportive, and be seen as we go through these rapidly changing times right now.
Why a good resource you might ask? I will be going into why use YouTube in more detail as I do my Marketing & Communication reports for our IADR members. As soon as I finish up my research, I'll be sharing that information soon. In the meantime, you can subscribe to the IADR channel to not miss any new videos as they are released.
