Time To...

​
​Is it time to dust off or clean up your Artist's Studio page?  Have you even created your Artist's Studio page yet?  

​Now may be the best time to start that Artist's Studio page or visit your page and see what you can do to "spruce it up" (that's American slang for cleaning it up *smiling).

Are you using the space of your Artist's Studio page to showcase your artistry or are you just hanging out there?

Your Artist's Studio page is your gallery.  Anyone can click on it to see your work.  Do you want them to just see a piece or two or really be able to shop through your store?  Keep in mind - links are easy to add to any image to take a potential customer right to where they can purchase it if you have your dolls on other buying platforms like Etsy for example. That is a Hint - (Cross marketing idea).

Do you have more than one image of your portrait?  Do you show how you created it?  Are you showing all the best angles and views of your creation to help a potential buyer feel comfortable in their selection?

If you used the short cut of the Registration form to add the doll to your Artist's Studio page, that is fine.  But you can still go back to any doll and add more pictures to her or expand on your description of the doll.  You can use the Artist's Studio Submission Form and on the name of the doll add the words "update".  

​That way I know the doll is already on the website and you are just adding to her.  Otherwise, email me the extra pictures or text at [email protected].

Why do this?  If you are one of the artists that will be attending the MIDA event that is prior to our IADR Art Doll Convention, a QR code of your Artist's Studio page will be with each of your dolls.  What do you want those buyers scanning the QR code to see?  AND... if you aren't attending the event or convention, potential customers don't stop scanning at just one Artist's Studio page.  That is a proven fact from the jump of views every Artist's Studio page receives during our People's Choice event each year.  

With Spring just around the corner and so is our MIDA Event (April 25- May 3) and our IADR Art Doll Convention (May 8 - May 10, 2026), now is the time to get your Artist's Studio page all tidied up and neat as a pin.

​A warm welcome to our new member Tatiana Tofaneto who joins us from Brazil.

​I do love it when we add another country to our wide spread membership from around the world.  She is a porcelain artist and also on YouTube.  I know I'll be checking out her channel at ​Tatiana Tofaneto - YouTube.

REMINDER- The IADR Art Doll Planning Meeting Wednesday, March 11th at 10 am MST (cause of us "springing forward) and regular time of 5 pm for Italy.
