Connecting...

Do you know what is so cool about being a member of IADR (International Art Doll Registry)?  It is the opportunity to meet other doll makers and share our passion for dolls.  Whether we are playing at dress up or having a tea party it is all fun and fantastic.

Did you know we reach as far away as Alaska, USA, all the way down to Australia, from Washington State across the BIG pond to Italy plus places in between?  Now we are even having a "playtime" on Zoom in real time called ShyLock Doll Gathering where we can talk about and inspire each other in our craft.

We meet only once a month so mark your calendar for the next one coming up will be on April 25th.  We are still working on the best day of the week to meet since this is a new opportunity for IADR members but the time is pretty set.  After all, we are reaching around the world in different time zones just to hang out together. *smiling*

For the month of April I am going to be sharing how a 2-Dimensional (2D) artist expanded my "eye" to becoming a 3-Dimensional (3D) artist and ended up becoming a painter in clay.  What is a 2D artist?  Two-dimensional art refers to any form of visual art that exists in two dimensions.  Meaning you can only see two sides in viewing it such as drawings, paintings, prints, and photographs.

​3D art is defined as art with all the dimensions of height, width, and depth.  Unlike 2D art, it occupies greater physical space and can be viewed and interpreted from all sides and angles such as sculptures.  It does take skill, a passion to learn, and a desire to create to go from 2D to 3D as it changes one's perspectives.

The Shylock Doll Gathering time frame is a perk of being a member of IADR and a wonderful opportunity for making friendships that can last a lifetime.  Mark your calendar and if you aren't a member of IADR, maybe now is the time to join.  Visit our website at:
