Lotus challenge prize

Our postman ring the bell on my door today and he does that only when he have something interesting to give me. Guess what - I have received a parcel from Patti Culea. Actually this is a prize for my Lotus doll in Lotus challenge on Doll Street, for best use of color.
Patti was the sponsor in this challenge and a price is as you can see her book (signed of course) and fabric and this silk tops if I’m right.(newer saw something like this before).I could chose which one of her books I want, and I thought that her first book would be great, because I already have her second book (Di Evdokimoff send it to me long time ago, BTW it was my very first book on doll making).
I’m waiting for this parcel for a long time (all other winners received their prizes long ago), and thought that she has forgot me, but I was wrong, and I’m glad that I was wrong.
Book is great, and I enjoy reading it and looking at all beautiful dolls inside.
Thank you Patti.

Lotus challenge

Winners for the Lotus Challenge were announced few days ago on Doll street.
I'm sure that it was really hard to decide about the winners,cause all dolls were great.
My doll won the price for the best use of color.
Patti Medaris Culea was the sponsor of this challenge.
She offered great prices (books and fabrics etc.) for the winners and Molly (owner of the DS) offered 100$ in cash.
My prize is Patti's book (signed) and fabric selection.(75$ worth)
Patti was so kind and contacted me asking which one of her books I want.I already have her second book-"Creative Cloth Doll Faces",(thanks to Diane Evdokimoff who have sent me this book about a year ago),and thought that it would be good to have her first book "Creative Cloth Doll Making".
All Patti's books are great,but I think that this first one is a base for all other books.(I will see am I right about that when I receive it).
When Jurate was here,she have looked at all my dolls and finally she said that most attractive for her is doll made from Patti's book.Well now this doll lives in Lithuania.

Dolls for Challenge on Doll Street

As I said in previous post there were few things happening around.
I entered two dolls for Mayor Challenge at Doll Street Dreamers.


First one is life-size doll that I made few weeks ago.She is huge doll,but as it was my first time to create something like that I'm satisfied with how she turns out.



I had problems with dressing her because of her size (all my clothes were small to her) but eventually everything turns out fine.
For the reference here is a picture of my DH with the doll.


Second doll that I entered for this challenge is last minute doll - "Wait for me,- I want to run for a mayor,-just to put on my other shoe"


Somehow silly doll but I wanted her to look like that.I'm thinking of making her into pattern or a class.
Results from this challenge will be on Friday (can't wait),and you can look at other entries here:
