Need Inspiration???

​Need a little inspiration or just don't know how to do something that you have been wanting to try?  Have you checked out the many resources available to our IADR (International Art Doll Registry) members?

There is a whole section called ​Anatomy Reference Guides where you will find images for bone sizes as well as muscles to help with those for sculpting adults to babies.  There are even hands and feet for those looking for an unique pose.​

Check out the Tutorial section - this is a treasure trove of inspiration!

From specific tutorials like Sculpting Hands with Deb Wood or China Painting Eyebrows from MisPlace Dolls, that is just the beginning.  There are also a Costuming section, a Wing section, and even a little bit of Miscellaneous to look at.

These resources have all been generously donated to the IADR library and they are free to IADR members.  Also this is another way to get involved!!   We are in need of some helpful tips or inspiration for the Fiber Arts as that interest grows.

Also think "Marketing"!  What do I mean by that?  When a tutorial or project idea is sent to the IADR library, it can be linked back to the person who supplied it.  This is a great way to cross-market for those that have websites.  Also, if you have supplied tutorials for the IADR Art Doll magazine, I don't automatically add them to the library.  I'll try to get better about asking about that because when a tutorial or project is submitted to the IADR Library, there is a reference to who supplied it.  This gives the person name recognition and if they share links how they can be found (for those that don't have websites) - that can help their social media platforms grow.

Let's keep our IADR library healthy by using it and adding to it.  If you wish to add tutorials or projects, send them to [email protected].
