The results are in for our first juried show of the year!  Thank you to all those that entered to make this a special show indeed and congratulations to the winners.

The event prize for the Winter Blues is a free year membership to the IADR in each category and skill level.  You can see the winners and honorary winners on our award page.  Honorary winners are those who competed in a skill level where they were the only applicant.  We recognize them for entering the event but a prize is not awarded when no competition is available for that skill level.

Yes, it seems like when one loses an hour with daylight savings time, it feels like catching up until we (in the USA) get in sync with the rest of the world.  Apparently, that will happen at the end of the month.

In the meantime, have you seen the "Catch of the Day" by Mark Dennis?  It is going to be awesome to see it for real at our first art doll convention in May 2025.  Those that registered to attend the event will actually have a chance to take this "Catch of the Day" home for their very own.

Remember, only those that are registered for the IADR Convention receive a chance at winning this grand prize!

​Also, Mark Dennis, will be the Guest Speaker for the Gala Dinner (as well as offering a workshop at the convention).  What a great way to meet the artist that created the Catch of the Day!  To register for the IADR Art Doll Convention for May 15-17th, 2025 in Florence, Italy click here.

Yes, only three days left to enter your art doll for the first juried show of 2025.  This is also the first time Fiber Art Dolls have their own category too!

Remember IADR members to get your doll registered first as you need that information for your juried show entry.  The pressure is on as there are only three days left until the 10 PM MST on Friday, March 7th, 2025's Deadline.

​Let's see those Winter theme creations or something in blue like even my blue suede shoes.  After all, my blue suede shoes are all that I need to fight off the Winter Blues.

See our newest Video on Youtube!  It showcases all the doll artists participating in the IADR Art Doll convention and show their classes they will be offering as well.  The video is in English and Italian too!  Share the link and let's get the word out as May 15th - 17th, 2025 is just around the corner.
