Phoebes Participate in the East Bay Open Studios
The Phoebes participated in the East Bay Open Studios at Wanda's Goose Cottage in Alameda on June 4 and 5. Phoebe fans and followers showed up to purchase dolls, crowns, pins, and an assortment of Phoebe creations. We were thrilled with the interest and response.Akira Blount 5-Day Workshop for Phoebes
Over Memorial Day Weekend 2011, the Phoebes were fortunate to have scheduled internationally famous dollsmaker, Akira Blount, to teach a 5-day workshop. Above is a photo of Tami Levin's fabulous class doll.
Below, Colleen is seen working on one of the many dolls she made at the workshop.

Go to http://www.akirastudios.com/ to see Akira's fabulous "dolls" which are r
eally works of art. Attendees were taught a variety of techniques, including sculpting faces, using stiffening and draping medium, layering on a gauze "skin," perfecting gusset joints, and incorporating materials from nature. We learned so much and have been busy using our new-found knowledge to make dolls which will be brought to the July meeting for Show and Tell.
