Conversation with Dollmaker...
Picture
I have traveled to England (via ZOOM) to spend some time with Renata Jansen and her lovely dolls.  Then the time flew by while I was in Italy (again via the magic of ZOOM) talking with Adelaide Santini.  These conversations have been very interesting to me especially as polymer is a medium I haven't delved in.  These ladies make it look easy but then that is the skill of a master - as one knows a lot of work goes into each creation.

Plus I am so excited as I have always wanted to visit Australia which I get to do as Amanda Parkinson is scheduled to talk to me in March.
If you have missed these conversations, join me and the IADR Dollmakers either here in the blog or on Youtube.  Here on the website you will see Conversations on the right side of the screen where the past blogs are archived.  To view on Youtube, click the link below:

Don't have a Clue!!!
Our Zoom meeting will be this Thurs Feb 23rd at 12:30 (Mountain Standard Time) for members of IADR who want to be inspired, maybe learn something new, or just meet another fellow dollmaker who shares our passion.  

Keep your eyes open for the link in the IADR Members Only group and don't be a SHY-lock.  Come join us *smiling*.

Conversation with a Dollmaker - Adelaide Santini

​Come with me as I go to Italy to have a conversation with Adelaide Santini about dolls.  I didn't even have to leave the comfort of my chair to have this delightful time with her. 

Her fun sense of humor had us laughing more than once and I was able to experience the flavor of Italy as I listened to her enchanting accent.
After you have joined us for our enjoyable conversation, don't forget to check out her links to see her work and learn even more about her.  Also our conversation will be up soon on our Youtube channel.  So many ways to come join us.

Looking to the Future...

​While I am working on updating the past through getting our Registry all on the website, I just wanted to mention that all dolls do not need to be registered to be added to your Artist's Studio Page.
Why am I bringing this up?  Because as we look to the future, especially for our Christmas Event, your Artist's Page will be linked to your entry.  This will allow the viewing public to see your work. Now whether or not you are putting in a piece to be judged by the people or just wanting to do it for fun, your Artist's Page will be part of the set-up for the page.
I am hoping everyone will want to play with this event as it is a great opportunity for your work to be seen as a gallery or a shop since you can link your Website, Etsy, Ebay or even Facebook to your Studio page.  This is a lovely way to share your story and adventure in creating your artwork. 
The Artist's Studio page is for your work, past or present that you would like others to see. There is no timetable for your work here.  If you are wanting to add to your Studio page only, then use the Artist Studio submission form.  A couple of things to point out that could be used better is...
The first is by using the outside link.  If you don't have one, that's fine but if you have any of the above listed sites, why not use this option?  Cross marketing is always a good idea.  It allows people to find you easier and in more than one way in this Social Media jungle.

The second is the Description of the Doll.  This is one part of the form that truly gets under used.  This is where you can share your adventure in how you created your doll.  If you don't feel like doing a big write-up you can also simply copy and paste from your existing link from your Website, Etsy or Facebook page too.  Remember, this is what your potential customer will read to entice them to buy your work.  
Again, if you are creating your gallery, then you truly want to explain your piece and what inspired you as people want to share in your experiences in creating the piece.
Finally, if you are Registering your ooak artdoll and want to add it to your Artist's Studio Page too, we have made it easier.  We simply added the extra spot on the Registry form for you to tell us that you want the doll in your Artist's Studio page.  So, No, you do not need to fill out both forms to have your doll appear in both areas (the Registry and your Artist's Studio Page).
