Arsenic & Old Lace Challenge

Beaded Art Doll members designed a doll loosely based upon the theme of the old movie, "Arsensic and Old Lace," starring Cary Grant. There were two requirements for this challenge. Each doll had to have lace on it and have at least 50% of it covered with beads. Congratulations to all who participated. Well done!!!!! While all the beaders are considered winners just by attempting this feat, the group will have a poll to decide which dolls are their top three favorites. Please check back in about a week to see who they have chosen .

Face Pin Mini Challenge

Because so many of our members finished the Arsensic and Old Lace Doll Challenge early, a mini challenge was created. The pictures at left are some of the results of this event. There are the whimsical and the elegant. Some of the faces are made into pendants and some are pins. The creators are as follows from top to bottom: Ralonda, Julia, Rosalie, Jo, Maggie, and Sunni. All of this artistry is a fine example of how one idea given to artistisans produces such distinct designs.

The Four Seasons by Lynn Manning

The owner of this group, Lynn, has created 4 dolls to
depict the seasons. There is Bonnie Springtime
on the far right. Suzie Summer is next dressed in
pink and green. Aud Autumn is looking fine in an ensemble of warm hues. Last is Winni-peg Winter in icy blue. Lynn likes Ms. Winter best, but the group is in agreement that all four are fantastic and shows the true artistry of our group leader. It took Lynn over two years to complete this set and we send our sincerest congratulations on finishing this excellent example of beaded art dolls.

Valentine's Beaded Doll Swap

This year our group hosted a Valentine's Day Swap. Eighteen members participated, each creating a tiny beaded doll to send to their partner. Here are some of the eighteen dolls created in this exchange. We still have just a few more to come which will be added later.
