So-so-so hard to keep secrets... well at least for me!  Let's begin with that Jerry Knegtel collaborated with the IADR to create this short video about her Polymer Puppet challenge.  Thank you Jerry for sharing your talent with us. She turned out fabulous and I love her little dance at the end.

You can now view it on the IADR Youtube Channel at

Then Bambi and I snuck into the Zoom room and had a cozy chat about this seemingly new Trend of being LIVE on social media.  

We talked about Instagram and Youtube and why people are needing to know what they are seeing now on the social platforms is truly real.  This all affects how we try to sell our artwork.

And now I can really let the Cat out of the bag and reveal our really big secret!    
​     Drum roll please.....ddduuummmm.
The IADR Art Doll magazine is going through a new change and transformation!  Why you ask?  Because the very popular DOLLS magazine has now been acquired by the IADR.  Our new magazine will continue to be a digital format but now we will have a new flip style viewing option.  Also, because of this, we are choosing to update our new name to ART DOLLS Magazine - bringing together the best of each magazine in this new publication.
The Spring Issue will be the first edition and will reflect some of the changes happening - such as adding new sections to the magazine like Doll Collector, Doll Scene, and Doll Clubs to our format as we continuing moving forward.

We will keep the Do What You Love page available to IADR members only to announce their new creations.  Also the AWARD of Excellence competition will continue but will be kept as a separate competition to the magazine and not part of the IADR juried shows.  More information on that event will be available in the Spring Issue. ​
The new magazine will be still a part of your membership benefits and it will still be a magazine for Creators and Collectors but now with a reach of over 15,000 plus contacts and a following of over 30,000 people being transferred through Facebook.  As I say, the IADR is a great community and that community just got a lot BIGGER!  Maybe it's time that you consider updating your Artist's Studio page as by this time next month there will be a lot more people visiting the IADR website.
