DON'T FORGET... We will be LIVE - December 29th with Instagram.  Come join Anna Esposito, Adelaide Santini, and myself as we answer questions and share about the upcoming Winter Blues events as well as the IADR Art Doll Convention.

Also, could still use a couple of more Sponsors for the Winter Blue Instagram game.  Drop me an email at [email protected]  if you are willing to be a sponsor in this fun event.

Deadline for YEAR END submission is December 31st.   Remember you must have participated in at least one IADR juried show or been in the People's Choice event during this past year to participate.  You also must be a current IADR member to compete.

  Future dates will be January 13th, Tuesday 10:30 am MST - 6:30 pm in Italy
                               February 10th, Tuesday 10:30 am MST - 6:30 pm in Italy 
                               March 10th, Tuesday 10:30 am MST - 6:30 pm in Italy  
And for April, we will be live from the MIDA event!  We appreciate you even just popping in for 5 minutes to say hi and support this new way we are promoting the IADR.

​​You'll see in the comments on the YouTube video for the link to her Artist's Studio page.  This is just one of the ways for cross marketing that the IADR helps with.

As I said, I would like to see our exposure grow on YouTube especially as I hear more about people suffering from Social Media fatique.  People will then go to YouTube to be inspired, entertained, or even educated.  Just know that collaborating together in our dollmaking is what makes the IADR stronger and better for all of our members.

This is where collaboration comes in.  Right now Giusy and I are working on a video for just that purpose.  YouTube is looking for longer videos and this platform is still a great way to found.  Now back to your Artist's Studio page.  I may not be able to download videos to your page BUT --- I can download an image with the link in it to the YouTube video.  Do you see the cross marketing?  You have an option to be in our website in the Tutorial section which can be linked to another site.  You have the option to be on the IADR YouTube channel individually (not part of a group video) which links back your Artist's Studio page.  And your Artist's Studio page is an active tool for you being seen.  It is amazing what a little collaboration can do together!
