"Right Church...Wrong Pew" in ADQ!

The newest issue of Art Doll Quarterly (spring 2015) 

features some incredible art dolls by artists like:

Ankie Daaken

Jaquiline Hurlbert

Cindee Moyer

Tatjana Raum

And there on page 114...

you'll find "Right Church... Wrong Pew!"

He is made using:

paper clay, paper maché and assorted mulberry papers.

This little guy was my "anthropomorphic challenge" doll

who found his way to the "Show & Tell" section in this issue.

I'd say he looks like he's headed to Mardi Gras!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Vintage Photo Give-Away... Going, Going, Gone!

Kathie and Lisa... 

We really meant "SOONER rather then later" with this give-away!

Congratulations to each of you... 

You're both such gifted and talented artists,

 we know these old photos will find their way into wonderful art!

Warmest Wishes... Daryle & Katie

February's "FunTastic" Give-Away: Picture This!

We came across these photographs on one of our visits

to the Farmer's Flea Market in Delaware... oodles of vintage photos.

We have divided these up into two (2) lots of fifteen photos each... 

to be given away this month.  (sooner... rather then later!)

These are perfect for altered-art, mixed-media, or just displaying around your home and in your studio!  Instant family... (wink!)

If you would like to join the fun, just leave us a comment on this post...

then your name will go into the hat for the drawing; 
two winners will be picked!  Yup... postage is on us!

(did we mention: "sooner rather then later!")

(please keep in mind that we will need a full name and mailing address 

upon selection of the names chosen... in order to mail the photos)

Warm Wishes from South Jersey... on this Lord's Day!

Hildegard's New Home!

We couldn't be happier (and doesn't Hildegard seem to share the joy!)

She has found a new home (back where we grew up as children)... in Wisconsin!

Julie Bailey... Congratulations!

  

Please use the e-mail tab here on our blog... 

and forward to us a postal mailing address.

Thank you to everyone who shared such encouraging, kind well-wishes             this past month... 

February is just around the corner and we're "cooking up" something

for a FunTastic February Give-Away!

Blessings to all,

Daryle & Katie

2015... FunTastic Give-Aways Begin!

What a great way... to begin a New Year:

This month we begin the first (of many we hope)...

"2015... FunTastic Give-Aways!"

 This doll never made the mailing deadline for the Art Doll Quarterly

"medieval doll challenge" this past year.

So many of you commented and mentioned that you loved her...

so let's find her a new home!

This give-away is really easy...

Just leave us a comment on this post 

and sometime between now and the end of January

we will randomly pick a name from all the posted comments.

Then we will mail "Ol' Hildegard" off to the individual chosen!

(please keep in mind that we will need a full name and mailing address 

upon selection of the name chosen... in order to mail the doll)

Happy New Year's Blessings... 

Daryle & Katie

From the inside... out,

From top... to bottom,

It's all about Emily Dickinson's soul-stirring poetry.
