Online class from Angela Jarecki

I just love starting out the new year with something so gorgeous! This beauty is going to be a five week class from Angela. I just love the way she does her faces, they are so soft and dreamy. You can read more about Saika here.

She’s at it again! - New ePatterns from Colleen Babcock

New ePatterns from Colleen Babcock

Dive into a Book ePattern

Colleen digitized two more of her patterns, her Green Man pin doll and her Dive into a Book bookmark doll. Fabulous as always. I read a lot and think her bookmark would be a hoot to use. I have a niece who is ALWAYS reading – and not on an electronic device so I am for sure going to make one of these for her! If you have any readers in your life this might be one of the most fun things you can give them.

a fabulous new class from Christi Friesen

Just in time for the new year, a lovely little pond that you can gaze serenely into to help recover from the holiday madness. Christi says that you’ll get that ‘zen’ experience every time you look into your pond. Learn to use resin as water and learn all the tricks that Christi uses to make simple shapes look complicated. Plus you’ll love her sense of humor! Class will start on January 6, 2012 and will run for a couple of months. Sign up here!

Keeping busy - posting Colleen Babcock's ePatterns!

posting Colleen Babcock's ePatterns!

Colleen just converted her patterns into digital format and I’m happy to be able to offer them here for you. I love Colleen’s work – she’s distinctly unique! The patterns here are amazing .. one doll is a clock, another holds a mistletoe ball, and the third one holds your jewelry! Nothing like being decorative and useful at the same time. I wonder if there’s enough time to make ‘Give me a kiss” before Christmas!!!

A fabulous doll from Dawn's Steampunk Oddfae class

Just had to share this doll that Sandi Reid made in Dawn’s Steampunk Oddfae class. Absolutely awesome! She can’t show us his ‘ride’ as she is entering it in a competition next year! Dee’s instructions are so easy to follow – I just love this little guy!

Gretchen – an all cloth doll ePattern - New from Sherry Goshon

New from Sherry Goshon

Gretchen

I absolutely love Sherry’s little girls – they always seem to have such an ethereal look to them. This little one is no exception and it’s brand new .. not just new to Doll Street. It’s been a while since Sherry came out with a new pattern and I’m tickled pink. I have made so many of her patterns and they are easy to follow. I’m sure I’ll be making Gretchen too!

Harvest Queen - Mixed Media Dimensional Art class with Judy Skeel

Mixed Media Dimensional Art class with Judy Skeel

Isn’t this just great? I think this would make an awesome gift and I imagine you could probably make more than one at a time! It would be nice in your own home too but I tend to think of gift giving when we are getting close to the holidays. As long as you gift to someone who appreciates the time and effort that goes into a handmade gift! Anyhow, this is the Harvest Queen and she’ll be starting this coming Friday, Nov 18th.

Pin Doll Swap - Monochromatic pin dolls

Monochromatic pin dolls

by Shashi Nayagam

I finally managed to get the Monochromatic Pin Doll Swap swapped out. I had been waiting on a package from one of the Dreamers that never arrived. It’s so disappointing when that happens. I think this might be only the first or second time it has happened in the years I’ve been doing these swaps. I sponsored lots and lots of pin doll swaps before I owned Doll Street. Funnily enough I rarely make dolls for the swaps but I sure do love seeing them all! If you’d like to see all the Dolls just click on the Art Gallery link above. We have one more swap coming up – and that’s a holiday swap we posted back in July when it was sweltering out.

a new Oddfae class from Dawn

Miss Cheevas

Whoot – just in time for Halloween – do you see a trend here, lol? Another outstanding class from Dawn, a complete online doll class – she’ll cover everything – sculpting, armature, wigging, costuming, and a whole lot more. There is even some kind of surprise in this class – and Dawn wouldn’t tell me what! Gah! Starting Oct 28th, don’t miss Miss Cheevas!
