Maurine questioned whether we would be able to do demonstrations at the quilt show and it was pointed out that we don't have room. Lynn informed us that she will obtaini more information regarding doing demos for Dooglebug. She also suggested Art in the Park, and the Boulder City Art Fair as possibles. Additionally she has access to libraries who might be looking for demos and she will locate the contact for each local library and put the closest member in touch with that library so we could inquire regarding demos and display cases.
Lynn told us that the display case with the dolls was a great hit and that all dollmaking books are checked out or on reserve. The library also does travelling displays that our group might want to be involved with.
Micki suggested that we make items to sell in the booth to enhance our bank account. She brought a tiny fairy attached to a small bag that we decided to make as a group project in January. Micki will re-design the pattern as necessary, locate the bags and any other important supplies, and we will bring our own "bags of bling" to embellish them.
The Christmas luncheon was discussed by Micki, and after telling us that M is not responsive to our demands for their location, we voted to go to Red Rock Casino again. The event will be Dec. 5, and names were drawn to exchange pin dolls. The pin dolls will be hand made (our best work), and no doubt beautiful!
The roster for next year's office was discussed and approved as follows:
Diane Zammito will be Pres., Mary Ashcraft will be Vice President, Lynn Schofield Dahl will publish the newsletter, Iris Puccini will be Secretary, Bobbye Kee will be treasurer, and the program chairmen will be Maurine Adrezin and Sandy Leal. Great team!
The November project has been changed from masks to artist trading cards. Micki says they feel the original mask plan was too complicated, and she feels more prepared to go ahead with the cards. We're all very excited!
Maurine showed us the doll pins made by Dorit, and announced the class that will be held March 6-8. She collected $25 from each of the members wishing to attend. The final cost will be approx. $100 per student, depending on what travel charges come to. The dolls are wonderful, and it's an exciting new technique we can't wait to learn.
Show and tell was enjoyed, lunch was consumed, and then Fran gave us a demo of making moulds from a product called alumilite. It can be purchased at http://www.alumilite.com/ at approx. $35 per package. Great fun, and great class.
