5th Annual Day With Dolls
August 7, 2010
On Saturday, August 7, 2010 over 100 art doll makers gathered to share a creative and inspirational day with fellow doll makers at a "Day With Dolls". The event was sponsored by the 3D Cloth Doll Club and the Manhattan Doll Club. This year's event included demonstrations, workshops, goodie bags, raffles, door prizes and more.

The event was begun by Diane Kearney five years ago when 13 women gathered at Diane's home
to enjoy creative time with fellow doll makers.
Maria Quinones demonstrated how to draw and color and face.
Gloria "Mimi" Winer demonstrated face overlay and sculpting the mouth.
George Washington was made by Sandy Nuhn of the Dolls with Attitude group from CT.
A highlight of the day was the Show and Tell table.
The talents of these creative souls are many and varied.
A special Anniversary cake was provided by Diane the founder of Day With Dolls.
In addition to the demonstrations, we made a Mojo Doll, and a wrist or finger pin cushion.
I wish I had more to show but I was too busy enjoying the friendship and creative spirit that was abundant throughout the day. This was the first time I attended "Day With Dolls", and I'm sure it won't be the last.
