September 2021 Phoebe Meeting

 

The challenge for today's meeting was to make a tiny doll from pipe cleaners, Pellon, paper and/or fabric, using the pattern and instructions given to us by Elise. Pictured above is the hot pink cutie with a painted wooden bead head made by Suzanne.

Challenge

The results of the challenge were a mixture of new small dolls like Suzanne's above, made using Elise's pattern and instructions, and original designs made using a variety of materials. Some dolls were created prior to the challenge and others were dolls collected by members and made by non-Phoebe artists.
