Supply List

dust masksafety glassesrubber gloves

measuring cupsmeasuring spoons

1 or 2 cup glass measuring cupmixing spoons

3 pint-size glass jars with lids2 gallon-size jugs with lids

6 or more quart-size glass jars with lidsold towelsrags or paper towels

2 tablespoons dye powdersin red blue and yellow

9 tablespoons urea9 tablespoons soda ash

6 yards of 100 cotton fabric cut into frac14 yard pieces

Creating one of a kind hand dyedfabrics is very exciting satisfyingmuch easier than you think andaddictive The following tech-nique I have been using for manyyears and find it quite easy forthe beginner

First I want to talk about dyesProcion Fiber Reactive Dyes arethe dyes I use The colours are very bright andcolourfast Other ldquohome dyesrdquo are not as stable and will fade with time If you aregoing to put the time and energy into hand dyeing you should use dyes that willstand the test of time I buy my dyes mail order from

Dharma Trading CoPO Box 150916

San Rafael CA 94915httpwwwdharmatradingcom

1-800-542-5227

They carry everything you should possibly need for hand dyeing and are veryhelpful Their prices are the best and they ship UPSWhat colours to buy I use only 3 colours and then mix from there A red a blueand a yellow is what you need to start Then after you are hooked you can ventureoff using golden yellow fuschia and turquoise but you will notice it is still a reda blue and a yellow Now you can get any red blue and yellow you want but tostart off I recommend Bright Yellow 2 Fire Red 10 and Cobalt Blue 22 Theseare from the Dharma catalog The smallest amount sold is 2 ounces which cantake you very far The other chemicals you need are soda ash fixer and urea Onepound of each is plenty

Now letrsquos talk fabric Youhave many choices in thisdepartment You can use any100 cotton fabric fromflannel to knit to a good basicmuslin I use Kona Cotton ndashPFD It is a tight weave and isespecially treated for handdyeing The colours come outbreathtaking I find this fabricgreat for doll clothing andwonderful for needle sculpt-ing faces I used it for manyyears in quiltsOkay we have dyes andfabric now we can begin thefun The best part of handdyeing is creating your owncolours so I suggest you keepa dyerrsquos notebook and writedown your formulas Thatway you can create thatcolour againhellip well closeYou will never be able tocreate the exact colour again

but you can get close My mixtures are different every time I do them Part of thefun is making them all one of a kind A good book to get that will be more indepth is ldquoColor by Accidentrdquo by Ann Johnston Hold on we are going to experi-ence colour like you never have before

Preparing a work spaceI work in my laundry area in the large laundry tub or outside Do NOT work inyour kitchen or bathroom These dyes are toxic And make sure you are in a

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

well-ventilated area You can work outside in large buckets Anything that touchesthe dye powders and chemicals cannot be reused for food even if you run itthrough the dishwasher It isnrsquot worth the risk Buy equipment just for dyeing andkeep it in a large plastic box with a tight lid child and animal proof if needed

Mixing the dye concentratesLay out all of your equipment on your work area Keep the old towel handy forany spills Fill one of the plastic gallon jugs with warm water Use this formeasuring out any water you need Refill with water as needed It is easier thanturning on the sink every time you need water Put on the dust mask safetyglasses and rubber gloves In each of the 3 pint-sized glass jars you will pour in 1cup warm water and 3 tbsp of urea Stir these until the urea is mostly dissolvedNow add 2 tbsp of dye powder to each jar Make one jar red one blue and oneyellow Either stir or place the lid tightly on and shake well You will mix all yourother colors from these three concentrates These will keep about a week or two

Mixing the soda ashStill wearing the dust mask and other gear combine 9 tbsp soda ash into onegallon of warm water and store in the second plastic gallon jug I mix up the 9tbsp in about 1 cup of water Pour it into the gallon container and then fill thecontainer with more water to make one gallon Old clean milk jugs work great forthese This solution will keep indefinitely But once it is mixed with the dyeconcentrate it has a shelf life of only one hour You can now remove your dustmask

Colour stackingPlace all your frac14 yard pieces into a large container of warm water DO NOTprewash your pieces Stuff one piece of squeezed-out fabric in the bottom of oneof your quart jars In the glass measuring cup measure out 2 tbsp yellow dyeconcentrate add warm water to equal frac14 cup Pour this over the fabric in the quartglass jar Wait 5 minutes In the same glass measuring cup measure out frac14 cup sodaash from the gallon jug No need to rinse yet Pour this over the yellow fabric inthe jar Now rinse the glass measuring cup Place the next piece of fabric in thesame jar Stuff it down but not too tight Mix up another frac14 cup of the dye concen-trate in the same manner as you did the yellow but use red this time Repeat thesame process for the soda ash Remember to rinse your cup out between eachcolour Now add the third piece of fabric and do the same dye process but usingthe colour blue Now that you have all three colours in the same jar you may havesome air space near the top of the jar You can top it off with warm water just sothe fabric is covered with water Let this jar sit undisturbed for at least one hourbut it can sit for several days If you let it sit for several days cover it with the jarlid The dyes will dye the layer of fabric you put it on but will also run onto theother layers you stuff in the jar The fabrics do come out tie-dye looking or have amarbled effect When it has sat for an hour you can pull out the top layer of fabric(wear rubber gloves and work over a sink or bucket) and run the fabric underwarm water until the water runs pretty clear Repeat for the next two layers

dumping out the dye in the sink Wash all the fabrics with like colours in a washcycle on warm water and dry on high in the dryer This helps set the colours DONOT wash with your clothing

Trying more colour combosNow with your three coloursyou can create many more Hereare some colors to try in yourlayered jarsOrange4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons redGreen4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons bluePurple4 teaspoons blue2 teaspoons red

Use these as your dye concentrates and add water to equal frac14 cup You can reversethese measurements for more colours

More layering combosOrange to blue toyellow1st layer ndash orange2nd layer ndash blue3rd layer ndash yellowGold to purple1st layer ndash 5 tsp yellow 2drops blue 1 drop red2nd layer ndash 4 tsp red 2tsp blue3rd layer ndash blueYellow to blue1st layer ndash yellow2nd layer ndash 4 tsp yellow2 tsp blue3rd layer ndash blue

Art has been a part of my life all my lifeMy mother tells the story about five daysafter she brought me home from the hos-pital she took me into her art studio andthe first thing I did there was grab a pieceof clay and put it in my mouth My edu-cation began Art is in my blood I am athird generation artist My grandmotherand mother are clay and finer sculptors Iwas given every kind of media to playwith but clay and fabrics are my favor-itesI was born in Pittsburgh PA and still livehere with my husband Vince a woodsculptor and fly fisherman and my twodaughters Adrienne 18 and Caitlin 13I live in a very rural area and that seemsto help fuel my inspiration Another in-spiration I have are the animal compan-ions we live with Abbey a 100 poundyellow lab Raven a black house rabbitand Fyna a yellow-napped Amazon par-rotI started sewing on a machine at aboutthe age of five where I made clothes formy dolls I created my first doll for mysister at that age all hand sewn with yarnand a bed sheet But it wasnrsquot until I hadmy own child that I really concentratedon soft sculpture After finishing a BFAin ceramics sculpture and art history Istarted making quilts for my oldestdaughter I love the feel of the fabric andhand stitching but I felt I was missingsomething Quilts are too flat I tried tomake them more and more 3-D I at-tended a lecture by epb (editorrsquos noteelinor peace bailey) at a local college andwhen I saw this amazing woman recitingpoetry and throwing her brightly

coloured dolls into the audience I knewI had to get into the act tooSoft sculpture fills all my needs I get toplay with fabric sculpt and play withcolour I spent a lot of time in collegestudying colour theory so hand dyeingfabric came very quickly to me where Iexplore creating my own colours Mymother had taught me batiking and Iworked in a spinning and weaving shopThese skills have worked their way intomy work I did many other artistsrsquo designsand very soon started seeing my own de-signs in my head I love taking a 2-D im-age from my head and working out theproblems to make it into a 3-D objectMy other loves are gardening and cook-ing I am a certified chef So my dollsevolved to include these loves Most ofmy designs are food and animal relatedplus what I think may live in my gardenMany dolls are Halloween inspired I loveHalloween so I do a lot of witches Mycritters are very comic looking with bigeyes and open mouths I want to smile oreven laugh out loud when I see them Ialso love GoddessesI pay a lot of attention to how my workgrows and changes I am always addingnew media to my work like clay andbeads I now create my own eyes andteeth for my dolls from clay I started re-leasing patterns and teaching classesonline This is the best learning experi-ence for me I push myself and the fabricwith each design I pay a lot of attentionto detail and the quality of constructionLike a puppeteer I can be anyone I wantthrough my dolls They are my alter egos

Joy and Baby byDenise Baldwin

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

Supply List

dust masksafety glassesrubber gloves

1 or 2 cup glass measuring cupmixing spoons

3 pint-size glass jars with lids2 gallon-size jugs with lids

6 or more quart-size glass jars with lidsold towelsrags or paper towels

2 tablespoons dye powdersin red blue and yellow

9 tablespoons urea9 tablespoons soda ash

6 yards of 100 cotton fabric cut into frac14 yard pieces

Creating one of a kind hand dyedfabrics is very exciting satisfyingmuch easier than you think andaddictive The following tech-nique I have been using for manyyears and find it quite easy forthe beginner

First I want to talk about dyesProcion Fiber Reactive Dyes arethe dyes I use The colours are very bright andcolourfast Other ldquohome dyesrdquo are not as stable and will fade with time If you aregoing to put the time and energy into hand dyeing you should use dyes that willstand the test of time I buy my dyes mail order from

Dharma Trading CoPO Box 150916

San Rafael CA 94915httpwwwdharmatradingcom

1-800-542-5227

They carry everything you should possibly need for hand dyeing and are veryhelpful Their prices are the best and they ship UPSWhat colours to buy I use only 3 colours and then mix from there A red a blueand a yellow is what you need to start Then after you are hooked you can ventureoff using golden yellow fuschia and turquoise but you will notice it is still a reda blue and a yellow Now you can get any red blue and yellow you want but tostart off I recommend Bright Yellow 2 Fire Red 10 and Cobalt Blue 22 Theseare from the Dharma catalog The smallest amount sold is 2 ounces which cantake you very far The other chemicals you need are soda ash fixer and urea Onepound of each is plenty

Now letrsquos talk fabric Youhave many choices in thisdepartment You can use any100 cotton fabric fromflannel to knit to a good basicmuslin I use Kona Cotton ndashPFD It is a tight weave and isespecially treated for handdyeing The colours come outbreathtaking I find this fabricgreat for doll clothing andwonderful for needle sculpt-ing faces I used it for manyyears in quiltsOkay we have dyes andfabric now we can begin thefun The best part of handdyeing is creating your owncolours so I suggest you keepa dyerrsquos notebook and writedown your formulas Thatway you can create thatcolour againhellip well closeYou will never be able tocreate the exact colour again

but you can get close My mixtures are different every time I do them Part of thefun is making them all one of a kind A good book to get that will be more indepth is ldquoColor by Accidentrdquo by Ann Johnston Hold on we are going to experi-ence colour like you never have before

Preparing a work spaceI work in my laundry area in the large laundry tub or outside Do NOT work inyour kitchen or bathroom These dyes are toxic And make sure you are in a

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

well-ventilated area You can work outside in large buckets Anything that touchesthe dye powders and chemicals cannot be reused for food even if you run itthrough the dishwasher It isnrsquot worth the risk Buy equipment just for dyeing andkeep it in a large plastic box with a tight lid child and animal proof if needed

Mixing the dye concentratesLay out all of your equipment on your work area Keep the old towel handy forany spills Fill one of the plastic gallon jugs with warm water Use this formeasuring out any water you need Refill with water as needed It is easier thanturning on the sink every time you need water Put on the dust mask safetyglasses and rubber gloves In each of the 3 pint-sized glass jars you will pour in 1cup warm water and 3 tbsp of urea Stir these until the urea is mostly dissolvedNow add 2 tbsp of dye powder to each jar Make one jar red one blue and oneyellow Either stir or place the lid tightly on and shake well You will mix all yourother colors from these three concentrates These will keep about a week or two

Mixing the soda ashStill wearing the dust mask and other gear combine 9 tbsp soda ash into onegallon of warm water and store in the second plastic gallon jug I mix up the 9tbsp in about 1 cup of water Pour it into the gallon container and then fill thecontainer with more water to make one gallon Old clean milk jugs work great forthese This solution will keep indefinitely But once it is mixed with the dyeconcentrate it has a shelf life of only one hour You can now remove your dustmask

Colour stackingPlace all your frac14 yard pieces into a large container of warm water DO NOTprewash your pieces Stuff one piece of squeezed-out fabric in the bottom of oneof your quart jars In the glass measuring cup measure out 2 tbsp yellow dyeconcentrate add warm water to equal frac14 cup Pour this over the fabric in the quartglass jar Wait 5 minutes In the same glass measuring cup measure out frac14 cup sodaash from the gallon jug No need to rinse yet Pour this over the yellow fabric inthe jar Now rinse the glass measuring cup Place the next piece of fabric in thesame jar Stuff it down but not too tight Mix up another frac14 cup of the dye concen-trate in the same manner as you did the yellow but use red this time Repeat thesame process for the soda ash Remember to rinse your cup out between eachcolour Now add the third piece of fabric and do the same dye process but usingthe colour blue Now that you have all three colours in the same jar you may havesome air space near the top of the jar You can top it off with warm water just sothe fabric is covered with water Let this jar sit undisturbed for at least one hourbut it can sit for several days If you let it sit for several days cover it with the jarlid The dyes will dye the layer of fabric you put it on but will also run onto theother layers you stuff in the jar The fabrics do come out tie-dye looking or have amarbled effect When it has sat for an hour you can pull out the top layer of fabric(wear rubber gloves and work over a sink or bucket) and run the fabric underwarm water until the water runs pretty clear Repeat for the next two layers

dumping out the dye in the sink Wash all the fabrics with like colours in a washcycle on warm water and dry on high in the dryer This helps set the colours DONOT wash with your clothing

Trying more colour combosNow with your three coloursyou can create many more Hereare some colors to try in yourlayered jarsOrange4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons redGreen4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons bluePurple4 teaspoons blue2 teaspoons red

Use these as your dye concentrates and add water to equal frac14 cup You can reversethese measurements for more colours

Art has been a part of my life all my lifeMy mother tells the story about five daysafter she brought me home from the hos-pital she took me into her art studio andthe first thing I did there was grab a pieceof clay and put it in my mouth My edu-cation began Art is in my blood I am athird generation artist My grandmotherand mother are clay and finer sculptors Iwas given every kind of media to playwith but clay and fabrics are my favor-itesI was born in Pittsburgh PA and still livehere with my husband Vince a woodsculptor and fly fisherman and my twodaughters Adrienne 18 and Caitlin 13I live in a very rural area and that seemsto help fuel my inspiration Another in-spiration I have are the animal compan-ions we live with Abbey a 100 poundyellow lab Raven a black house rabbitand Fyna a yellow-napped Amazon par-rotI started sewing on a machine at aboutthe age of five where I made clothes formy dolls I created my first doll for mysister at that age all hand sewn with yarnand a bed sheet But it wasnrsquot until I hadmy own child that I really concentratedon soft sculpture After finishing a BFAin ceramics sculpture and art history Istarted making quilts for my oldestdaughter I love the feel of the fabric andhand stitching but I felt I was missingsomething Quilts are too flat I tried tomake them more and more 3-D I at-tended a lecture by epb (editorrsquos noteelinor peace bailey) at a local college andwhen I saw this amazing woman recitingpoetry and throwing her brightly

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

3 pint-size glass jars with lids2 gallon-size jugs with lids

6 or more quart-size glass jars with lidsold towelsrags or paper towels

2 tablespoons dye powdersin red blue and yellow

9 tablespoons urea9 tablespoons soda ash

6 yards of 100 cotton fabric cut into frac14 yard pieces

Creating one of a kind hand dyedfabrics is very exciting satisfyingmuch easier than you think andaddictive The following tech-nique I have been using for manyyears and find it quite easy forthe beginner

First I want to talk about dyesProcion Fiber Reactive Dyes arethe dyes I use The colours are very bright andcolourfast Other ldquohome dyesrdquo are not as stable and will fade with time If you aregoing to put the time and energy into hand dyeing you should use dyes that willstand the test of time I buy my dyes mail order from

Dharma Trading CoPO Box 150916

San Rafael CA 94915httpwwwdharmatradingcom

1-800-542-5227

They carry everything you should possibly need for hand dyeing and are veryhelpful Their prices are the best and they ship UPSWhat colours to buy I use only 3 colours and then mix from there A red a blueand a yellow is what you need to start Then after you are hooked you can ventureoff using golden yellow fuschia and turquoise but you will notice it is still a reda blue and a yellow Now you can get any red blue and yellow you want but tostart off I recommend Bright Yellow 2 Fire Red 10 and Cobalt Blue 22 Theseare from the Dharma catalog The smallest amount sold is 2 ounces which cantake you very far The other chemicals you need are soda ash fixer and urea Onepound of each is plenty

Now letrsquos talk fabric Youhave many choices in thisdepartment You can use any100 cotton fabric fromflannel to knit to a good basicmuslin I use Kona Cotton ndashPFD It is a tight weave and isespecially treated for handdyeing The colours come outbreathtaking I find this fabricgreat for doll clothing andwonderful for needle sculpt-ing faces I used it for manyyears in quiltsOkay we have dyes andfabric now we can begin thefun The best part of handdyeing is creating your owncolours so I suggest you keepa dyerrsquos notebook and writedown your formulas Thatway you can create thatcolour againhellip well closeYou will never be able tocreate the exact colour again

but you can get close My mixtures are different every time I do them Part of thefun is making them all one of a kind A good book to get that will be more indepth is ldquoColor by Accidentrdquo by Ann Johnston Hold on we are going to experi-ence colour like you never have before

Preparing a work spaceI work in my laundry area in the large laundry tub or outside Do NOT work inyour kitchen or bathroom These dyes are toxic And make sure you are in a

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

well-ventilated area You can work outside in large buckets Anything that touchesthe dye powders and chemicals cannot be reused for food even if you run itthrough the dishwasher It isnrsquot worth the risk Buy equipment just for dyeing andkeep it in a large plastic box with a tight lid child and animal proof if needed

Mixing the dye concentratesLay out all of your equipment on your work area Keep the old towel handy forany spills Fill one of the plastic gallon jugs with warm water Use this formeasuring out any water you need Refill with water as needed It is easier thanturning on the sink every time you need water Put on the dust mask safetyglasses and rubber gloves In each of the 3 pint-sized glass jars you will pour in 1cup warm water and 3 tbsp of urea Stir these until the urea is mostly dissolvedNow add 2 tbsp of dye powder to each jar Make one jar red one blue and oneyellow Either stir or place the lid tightly on and shake well You will mix all yourother colors from these three concentrates These will keep about a week or two

Mixing the soda ashStill wearing the dust mask and other gear combine 9 tbsp soda ash into onegallon of warm water and store in the second plastic gallon jug I mix up the 9tbsp in about 1 cup of water Pour it into the gallon container and then fill thecontainer with more water to make one gallon Old clean milk jugs work great forthese This solution will keep indefinitely But once it is mixed with the dyeconcentrate it has a shelf life of only one hour You can now remove your dustmask

Colour stackingPlace all your frac14 yard pieces into a large container of warm water DO NOTprewash your pieces Stuff one piece of squeezed-out fabric in the bottom of oneof your quart jars In the glass measuring cup measure out 2 tbsp yellow dyeconcentrate add warm water to equal frac14 cup Pour this over the fabric in the quartglass jar Wait 5 minutes In the same glass measuring cup measure out frac14 cup sodaash from the gallon jug No need to rinse yet Pour this over the yellow fabric inthe jar Now rinse the glass measuring cup Place the next piece of fabric in thesame jar Stuff it down but not too tight Mix up another frac14 cup of the dye concen-trate in the same manner as you did the yellow but use red this time Repeat thesame process for the soda ash Remember to rinse your cup out between eachcolour Now add the third piece of fabric and do the same dye process but usingthe colour blue Now that you have all three colours in the same jar you may havesome air space near the top of the jar You can top it off with warm water just sothe fabric is covered with water Let this jar sit undisturbed for at least one hourbut it can sit for several days If you let it sit for several days cover it with the jarlid The dyes will dye the layer of fabric you put it on but will also run onto theother layers you stuff in the jar The fabrics do come out tie-dye looking or have amarbled effect When it has sat for an hour you can pull out the top layer of fabric(wear rubber gloves and work over a sink or bucket) and run the fabric underwarm water until the water runs pretty clear Repeat for the next two layers

dumping out the dye in the sink Wash all the fabrics with like colours in a washcycle on warm water and dry on high in the dryer This helps set the colours DONOT wash with your clothing

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

3 pint-size glass jars with lids2 gallon-size jugs with lids

6 or more quart-size glass jars with lidsold towelsrags or paper towels

2 tablespoons dye powdersin red blue and yellow

9 tablespoons urea9 tablespoons soda ash

6 yards of 100 cotton fabric cut into frac14 yard pieces

Creating one of a kind hand dyedfabrics is very exciting satisfyingmuch easier than you think andaddictive The following tech-nique I have been using for manyyears and find it quite easy forthe beginner

First I want to talk about dyesProcion Fiber Reactive Dyes arethe dyes I use The colours are very bright andcolourfast Other ldquohome dyesrdquo are not as stable and will fade with time If you aregoing to put the time and energy into hand dyeing you should use dyes that willstand the test of time I buy my dyes mail order from

Dharma Trading CoPO Box 150916

San Rafael CA 94915httpwwwdharmatradingcom

1-800-542-5227

They carry everything you should possibly need for hand dyeing and are veryhelpful Their prices are the best and they ship UPSWhat colours to buy I use only 3 colours and then mix from there A red a blueand a yellow is what you need to start Then after you are hooked you can ventureoff using golden yellow fuschia and turquoise but you will notice it is still a reda blue and a yellow Now you can get any red blue and yellow you want but tostart off I recommend Bright Yellow 2 Fire Red 10 and Cobalt Blue 22 Theseare from the Dharma catalog The smallest amount sold is 2 ounces which cantake you very far The other chemicals you need are soda ash fixer and urea Onepound of each is plenty

Now letrsquos talk fabric Youhave many choices in thisdepartment You can use any100 cotton fabric fromflannel to knit to a good basicmuslin I use Kona Cotton ndashPFD It is a tight weave and isespecially treated for handdyeing The colours come outbreathtaking I find this fabricgreat for doll clothing andwonderful for needle sculpt-ing faces I used it for manyyears in quiltsOkay we have dyes andfabric now we can begin thefun The best part of handdyeing is creating your owncolours so I suggest you keepa dyerrsquos notebook and writedown your formulas Thatway you can create thatcolour againhellip well closeYou will never be able tocreate the exact colour again

but you can get close My mixtures are different every time I do them Part of thefun is making them all one of a kind A good book to get that will be more indepth is ldquoColor by Accidentrdquo by Ann Johnston Hold on we are going to experi-ence colour like you never have before

Preparing a work spaceI work in my laundry area in the large laundry tub or outside Do NOT work inyour kitchen or bathroom These dyes are toxic And make sure you are in a

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

well-ventilated area You can work outside in large buckets Anything that touchesthe dye powders and chemicals cannot be reused for food even if you run itthrough the dishwasher It isnrsquot worth the risk Buy equipment just for dyeing andkeep it in a large plastic box with a tight lid child and animal proof if needed

Mixing the dye concentratesLay out all of your equipment on your work area Keep the old towel handy forany spills Fill one of the plastic gallon jugs with warm water Use this formeasuring out any water you need Refill with water as needed It is easier thanturning on the sink every time you need water Put on the dust mask safetyglasses and rubber gloves In each of the 3 pint-sized glass jars you will pour in 1cup warm water and 3 tbsp of urea Stir these until the urea is mostly dissolvedNow add 2 tbsp of dye powder to each jar Make one jar red one blue and oneyellow Either stir or place the lid tightly on and shake well You will mix all yourother colors from these three concentrates These will keep about a week or two

Mixing the soda ashStill wearing the dust mask and other gear combine 9 tbsp soda ash into onegallon of warm water and store in the second plastic gallon jug I mix up the 9tbsp in about 1 cup of water Pour it into the gallon container and then fill thecontainer with more water to make one gallon Old clean milk jugs work great forthese This solution will keep indefinitely But once it is mixed with the dyeconcentrate it has a shelf life of only one hour You can now remove your dustmask

Colour stackingPlace all your frac14 yard pieces into a large container of warm water DO NOTprewash your pieces Stuff one piece of squeezed-out fabric in the bottom of oneof your quart jars In the glass measuring cup measure out 2 tbsp yellow dyeconcentrate add warm water to equal frac14 cup Pour this over the fabric in the quartglass jar Wait 5 minutes In the same glass measuring cup measure out frac14 cup sodaash from the gallon jug No need to rinse yet Pour this over the yellow fabric inthe jar Now rinse the glass measuring cup Place the next piece of fabric in thesame jar Stuff it down but not too tight Mix up another frac14 cup of the dye concen-trate in the same manner as you did the yellow but use red this time Repeat thesame process for the soda ash Remember to rinse your cup out between eachcolour Now add the third piece of fabric and do the same dye process but usingthe colour blue Now that you have all three colours in the same jar you may havesome air space near the top of the jar You can top it off with warm water just sothe fabric is covered with water Let this jar sit undisturbed for at least one hourbut it can sit for several days If you let it sit for several days cover it with the jarlid The dyes will dye the layer of fabric you put it on but will also run onto theother layers you stuff in the jar The fabrics do come out tie-dye looking or have amarbled effect When it has sat for an hour you can pull out the top layer of fabric(wear rubber gloves and work over a sink or bucket) and run the fabric underwarm water until the water runs pretty clear Repeat for the next two layers

dumping out the dye in the sink Wash all the fabrics with like colours in a washcycle on warm water and dry on high in the dryer This helps set the colours DONOT wash with your clothing

Trying more colour combosNow with your three coloursyou can create many more Hereare some colors to try in yourlayered jarsOrange4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons redGreen4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons bluePurple4 teaspoons blue2 teaspoons red

Use these as your dye concentrates and add water to equal frac14 cup You can reversethese measurements for more colours

coloured dolls into the audience I knewI had to get into the act tooSoft sculpture fills all my needs I get toplay with fabric sculpt and play withcolour I spent a lot of time in collegestudying colour theory so hand dyeingfabric came very quickly to me where Iexplore creating my own colours Mymother had taught me batiking and Iworked in a spinning and weaving shopThese skills have worked their way intomy work I did many other artistsrsquo designsand very soon started seeing my own de-signs in my head I love taking a 2-D im-age from my head and working out theproblems to make it into a 3-D objectMy other loves are gardening and cook-ing I am a certified chef So my dollsevolved to include these loves Most ofmy designs are food and animal relatedplus what I think may live in my gardenMany dolls are Halloween inspired I loveHalloween so I do a lot of witches Mycritters are very comic looking with bigeyes and open mouths I want to smile oreven laugh out loud when I see them Ialso love GoddessesI pay a lot of attention to how my workgrows and changes I am always addingnew media to my work like clay andbeads I now create my own eyes andteeth for my dolls from clay I started re-leasing patterns and teaching classesonline This is the best learning experi-ence for me I push myself and the fabricwith each design I pay a lot of attentionto detail and the quality of constructionLike a puppeteer I can be anyone I wantthrough my dolls They are my alter egos

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

2 tablespoons dye powdersin red blue and yellow

9 tablespoons urea9 tablespoons soda ash

6 yards of 100 cotton fabric cut into frac14 yard pieces

Creating one of a kind hand dyedfabrics is very exciting satisfyingmuch easier than you think andaddictive The following tech-nique I have been using for manyyears and find it quite easy forthe beginner

First I want to talk about dyesProcion Fiber Reactive Dyes arethe dyes I use The colours are very bright andcolourfast Other ldquohome dyesrdquo are not as stable and will fade with time If you aregoing to put the time and energy into hand dyeing you should use dyes that willstand the test of time I buy my dyes mail order from

Dharma Trading CoPO Box 150916

San Rafael CA 94915httpwwwdharmatradingcom

1-800-542-5227

They carry everything you should possibly need for hand dyeing and are veryhelpful Their prices are the best and they ship UPSWhat colours to buy I use only 3 colours and then mix from there A red a blueand a yellow is what you need to start Then after you are hooked you can ventureoff using golden yellow fuschia and turquoise but you will notice it is still a reda blue and a yellow Now you can get any red blue and yellow you want but tostart off I recommend Bright Yellow 2 Fire Red 10 and Cobalt Blue 22 Theseare from the Dharma catalog The smallest amount sold is 2 ounces which cantake you very far The other chemicals you need are soda ash fixer and urea Onepound of each is plenty

Now letrsquos talk fabric Youhave many choices in thisdepartment You can use any100 cotton fabric fromflannel to knit to a good basicmuslin I use Kona Cotton ndashPFD It is a tight weave and isespecially treated for handdyeing The colours come outbreathtaking I find this fabricgreat for doll clothing andwonderful for needle sculpt-ing faces I used it for manyyears in quiltsOkay we have dyes andfabric now we can begin thefun The best part of handdyeing is creating your owncolours so I suggest you keepa dyerrsquos notebook and writedown your formulas Thatway you can create thatcolour againhellip well closeYou will never be able tocreate the exact colour again

but you can get close My mixtures are different every time I do them Part of thefun is making them all one of a kind A good book to get that will be more indepth is ldquoColor by Accidentrdquo by Ann Johnston Hold on we are going to experi-ence colour like you never have before

Preparing a work spaceI work in my laundry area in the large laundry tub or outside Do NOT work inyour kitchen or bathroom These dyes are toxic And make sure you are in a

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

well-ventilated area You can work outside in large buckets Anything that touchesthe dye powders and chemicals cannot be reused for food even if you run itthrough the dishwasher It isnrsquot worth the risk Buy equipment just for dyeing andkeep it in a large plastic box with a tight lid child and animal proof if needed

Mixing the dye concentratesLay out all of your equipment on your work area Keep the old towel handy forany spills Fill one of the plastic gallon jugs with warm water Use this formeasuring out any water you need Refill with water as needed It is easier thanturning on the sink every time you need water Put on the dust mask safetyglasses and rubber gloves In each of the 3 pint-sized glass jars you will pour in 1cup warm water and 3 tbsp of urea Stir these until the urea is mostly dissolvedNow add 2 tbsp of dye powder to each jar Make one jar red one blue and oneyellow Either stir or place the lid tightly on and shake well You will mix all yourother colors from these three concentrates These will keep about a week or two

Mixing the soda ashStill wearing the dust mask and other gear combine 9 tbsp soda ash into onegallon of warm water and store in the second plastic gallon jug I mix up the 9tbsp in about 1 cup of water Pour it into the gallon container and then fill thecontainer with more water to make one gallon Old clean milk jugs work great forthese This solution will keep indefinitely But once it is mixed with the dyeconcentrate it has a shelf life of only one hour You can now remove your dustmask

Colour stackingPlace all your frac14 yard pieces into a large container of warm water DO NOTprewash your pieces Stuff one piece of squeezed-out fabric in the bottom of oneof your quart jars In the glass measuring cup measure out 2 tbsp yellow dyeconcentrate add warm water to equal frac14 cup Pour this over the fabric in the quartglass jar Wait 5 minutes In the same glass measuring cup measure out frac14 cup sodaash from the gallon jug No need to rinse yet Pour this over the yellow fabric inthe jar Now rinse the glass measuring cup Place the next piece of fabric in thesame jar Stuff it down but not too tight Mix up another frac14 cup of the dye concen-trate in the same manner as you did the yellow but use red this time Repeat thesame process for the soda ash Remember to rinse your cup out between eachcolour Now add the third piece of fabric and do the same dye process but usingthe colour blue Now that you have all three colours in the same jar you may havesome air space near the top of the jar You can top it off with warm water just sothe fabric is covered with water Let this jar sit undisturbed for at least one hourbut it can sit for several days If you let it sit for several days cover it with the jarlid The dyes will dye the layer of fabric you put it on but will also run onto theother layers you stuff in the jar The fabrics do come out tie-dye looking or have amarbled effect When it has sat for an hour you can pull out the top layer of fabric(wear rubber gloves and work over a sink or bucket) and run the fabric underwarm water until the water runs pretty clear Repeat for the next two layers

dumping out the dye in the sink Wash all the fabrics with like colours in a washcycle on warm water and dry on high in the dryer This helps set the colours DONOT wash with your clothing

Trying more colour combosNow with your three coloursyou can create many more Hereare some colors to try in yourlayered jarsOrange4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons redGreen4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons bluePurple4 teaspoons blue2 teaspoons red

Use these as your dye concentrates and add water to equal frac14 cup You can reversethese measurements for more colours

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

well-ventilated area You can work outside in large buckets Anything that touchesthe dye powders and chemicals cannot be reused for food even if you run itthrough the dishwasher It isnrsquot worth the risk Buy equipment just for dyeing andkeep it in a large plastic box with a tight lid child and animal proof if needed

Mixing the dye concentratesLay out all of your equipment on your work area Keep the old towel handy forany spills Fill one of the plastic gallon jugs with warm water Use this formeasuring out any water you need Refill with water as needed It is easier thanturning on the sink every time you need water Put on the dust mask safetyglasses and rubber gloves In each of the 3 pint-sized glass jars you will pour in 1cup warm water and 3 tbsp of urea Stir these until the urea is mostly dissolvedNow add 2 tbsp of dye powder to each jar Make one jar red one blue and oneyellow Either stir or place the lid tightly on and shake well You will mix all yourother colors from these three concentrates These will keep about a week or two

Mixing the soda ashStill wearing the dust mask and other gear combine 9 tbsp soda ash into onegallon of warm water and store in the second plastic gallon jug I mix up the 9tbsp in about 1 cup of water Pour it into the gallon container and then fill thecontainer with more water to make one gallon Old clean milk jugs work great forthese This solution will keep indefinitely But once it is mixed with the dyeconcentrate it has a shelf life of only one hour You can now remove your dustmask

Colour stackingPlace all your frac14 yard pieces into a large container of warm water DO NOTprewash your pieces Stuff one piece of squeezed-out fabric in the bottom of oneof your quart jars In the glass measuring cup measure out 2 tbsp yellow dyeconcentrate add warm water to equal frac14 cup Pour this over the fabric in the quartglass jar Wait 5 minutes In the same glass measuring cup measure out frac14 cup sodaash from the gallon jug No need to rinse yet Pour this over the yellow fabric inthe jar Now rinse the glass measuring cup Place the next piece of fabric in thesame jar Stuff it down but not too tight Mix up another frac14 cup of the dye concen-trate in the same manner as you did the yellow but use red this time Repeat thesame process for the soda ash Remember to rinse your cup out between eachcolour Now add the third piece of fabric and do the same dye process but usingthe colour blue Now that you have all three colours in the same jar you may havesome air space near the top of the jar You can top it off with warm water just sothe fabric is covered with water Let this jar sit undisturbed for at least one hourbut it can sit for several days If you let it sit for several days cover it with the jarlid The dyes will dye the layer of fabric you put it on but will also run onto theother layers you stuff in the jar The fabrics do come out tie-dye looking or have amarbled effect When it has sat for an hour you can pull out the top layer of fabric(wear rubber gloves and work over a sink or bucket) and run the fabric underwarm water until the water runs pretty clear Repeat for the next two layers

dumping out the dye in the sink Wash all the fabrics with like colours in a washcycle on warm water and dry on high in the dryer This helps set the colours DONOT wash with your clothing

Trying more colour combosNow with your three coloursyou can create many more Hereare some colors to try in yourlayered jarsOrange4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons redGreen4 teaspoons yellow2 teaspoons bluePurple4 teaspoons blue2 teaspoons red

Joy and Baby byDenise Baldwin

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

Artist Bio

Art has been a part of my life all my lifeMy mother tells the story about five daysafter she brought me home from the hos-pital she took me into her art studio andthe first thing I did there was grab a pieceof clay and put it in my mouth My edu-cation began Art is in my blood I am athird generation artist My grandmotherand mother are clay and finer sculptors Iwas given every kind of media to playwith but clay and fabrics are my favor-itesI was born in Pittsburgh PA and still livehere with my husband Vince a woodsculptor and fly fisherman and my twodaughters Adrienne 18 and Caitlin 13I live in a very rural area and that seemsto help fuel my inspiration Another in-spiration I have are the animal compan-ions we live with Abbey a 100 poundyellow lab Raven a black house rabbitand Fyna a yellow-napped Amazon par-rotI started sewing on a machine at aboutthe age of five where I made clothes formy dolls I created my first doll for mysister at that age all hand sewn with yarnand a bed sheet But it wasnrsquot until I hadmy own child that I really concentratedon soft sculpture After finishing a BFAin ceramics sculpture and art history Istarted making quilts for my oldestdaughter I love the feel of the fabric andhand stitching but I felt I was missingsomething Quilts are too flat I tried tomake them more and more 3-D I at-tended a lecture by epb (editorrsquos noteelinor peace bailey) at a local college andwhen I saw this amazing woman recitingpoetry and throwing her brightly

coloured dolls into the audience I knewI had to get into the act tooSoft sculpture fills all my needs I get toplay with fabric sculpt and play withcolour I spent a lot of time in collegestudying colour theory so hand dyeingfabric came very quickly to me where Iexplore creating my own colours Mymother had taught me batiking and Iworked in a spinning and weaving shopThese skills have worked their way intomy work I did many other artistsrsquo designsand very soon started seeing my own de-signs in my head I love taking a 2-D im-age from my head and working out theproblems to make it into a 3-D objectMy other loves are gardening and cook-ing I am a certified chef So my dollsevolved to include these loves Most ofmy designs are food and animal relatedplus what I think may live in my gardenMany dolls are Halloween inspired I loveHalloween so I do a lot of witches Mycritters are very comic looking with bigeyes and open mouths I want to smile oreven laugh out loud when I see them Ialso love GoddessesI pay a lot of attention to how my workgrows and changes I am always addingnew media to my work like clay andbeads I now create my own eyes andteeth for my dolls from clay I started re-leasing patterns and teaching classesonline This is the best learning experi-ence for me I push myself and the fabricwith each design I pay a lot of attentionto detail and the quality of constructionLike a puppeteer I can be anyone I wantthrough my dolls They are my alter egos

Joy and Baby byDenise Baldwin

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

Joy and Baby byDenise Baldwin

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

I had a short look at your websitewill go back to look more later butwhat I saw was wonderful Youmust know there is nothingcomparable in Germany There is noldquoArt Doll Movementrdquo in Germany Iknow really nobody who makes thiskind of dolls - not from cloth orpaper or mixed media - nothing Itmight be interesting for yourmagazine to tell this to your readersthat Germany and maybe othercountries in Europe are a kind ofdesert in making art dolls (Tradi-tional dolls yes - but those one-of-a-kind-dolls - no) hellip I checked outa German textile arts internet groupyesterday and there was some littletalk about dolls ie a woman toldthe others about the last QuiltingArts issue where they present lotsof dolls So I think there is littleinterest in these kind of dolls but aswe said in German ldquoit is in itacutes childshoesrdquo - in the very beginning Butpeople who are able to read andcommunicate in English will find art dolls in the internet and quilt- or other textileartists will discover this medium sometime - hopefully But you must know that alltextile arts in Germany (I donacutet know about other countries in Europe) are notseen as art - the best what they say is craftwork Those people (most of themmen) who decided what is called art and what not always think that textilework in which way ever it is done is only for housewifes who are bored - itcanacutet be art (By the way An old used toilette-bowl just standing in a corner of aroom - that is art those people say)

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

The Art Doll Chronicles published by Somerset Studiois one of the most inspiring books I have ever read It tells

the story of nine round robin art dolls and their accompany-ing journals which travelled the country for two years being

added to and altered by the nine imaginatively creative artists(including Teesha Moore Keely Barham Riceuml Freeman-Zachary and

Lynne Perrella) who collaborated on this projectThe main section of the book is filled with wonderful color photographs of the

dolls highlighted by many fantastic close-up shots of the elaborate details added by eachartist (beads buttons trinkets paint photo transfers applique wirework and otherembellishments on the dollsrsquo bodies clothing and accessories) Throughout the journeyeach doll acquired a distinct personality reflecting not only the originating artist but alsothe additional efforts of each artist along the way to add to the dollrsquos storyElaborating those stories are the journals thataccompanied the dolls also represented bywonderfully detailed photographs showing thejournal covers and pages Exceptional publishingdetails include the captions that translate to plaintext many of the journal entries making them easyto read and descriptions of the objects andtechniques that many of the artists used on theirjournal pagesThese two sections alone would make a fantasticbook but The Art Doll Chronicles includes a thirdsection in which each artist writes about herexperience about what each doll meant to her andabout how her own personal creative vision wasaltered by the project including the difficulties ofldquotrust and surrenderrdquo that the collaborationrequiredIn a final section the book presents a personalprofile written by each artist along with a representative photo gallery of her otherartworkTogether these four sections produce a remarkable art book one I find myself returning toagain and again The photos the writings the thoughts and questions of the artistsmdashallseem designed not only to inspire but to aid the reader in giving birth to his or her ownpersonal vision My copy is well worn and I dare say that any artist whether or not theywork with art dolls or journals would find their own creativity jump-started in newdirections by the ideas presented in this book It is an invaluable addition to any aspiringartistrsquos library

The Dolls -

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Akira Blount1 How did you get started doll making I

began by making toys and dolls of cloth formy children when they were babies about 1969

2Did anyone ever try to discourage you from be-ing an artist Yes most everyone My parents didnrsquot know

anyone who was an artist and thought I would starve to death orsomething of the sort

3How have you seen your dolls change from when you first startedMy work has really changed in a very big way from those beginning dolls They were simple stocking dolls with needle-sculpted faces Really quitequirky Now I am not sure that I am making dolls any more but still havethe habit of calling themdolls They are at thevery least veryuntraditional

4Who have been yourmajor influences Mymother who loved dollsand my grandmother whotaught me needlework Myfather who taught me towork with hand and powertools and the most won-derful art teacher anyonecould have Miss Johnsonmy elementary art teacherAnd finally my dear friendLenore Davis who I missvery much to thisday Antique dolls influ-enced me greatly at onepoint I was very interested

in the construction of the bodies Later it was cloth the colors andpatterns that influenced the work I did More recently it has been natureand the spirit of that realm that has engaged me Learning about it living init and finding my place in it

5What about dolls What kind of in-fluence have they had on you Wellcertainly they have been the modethrough which I have expressed myselfhealed myself and communicated withnature Dolls are very powerful They arehuman effigies For me dolls have gonebeyond the mere human to allow me toquery the possible nature of conscious-ness in all things

6When you work is it a relaxedpeaceful time Or is it more manicwith ideas bouncing off the ceilingWhen I work the nature of that work canrun the gamut Sometimes it is a veryrelaxed thing and other times it is verystressful This has nothing to do withideas bouncing about but rather has todo with my show schedule

7What inspires you Well I haveprobably already answered that largely nature and my relationship to it Iam also inspired by the art of others The beautiful objects of native cul-tures and the work of fellow artists I see at the shows that I do These in-clude basketry pottery and other forms of figurative art

8And where are they going in the future Whatrsquos next for you I neverreally know what is next I have been surprised by this whole thing allalong I work in a very intuitive way and I just follow that thread and gowhere it takes me I donrsquot worry about it I trust the process It has been avery interesting journey of self- discovery and relationship to others

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Book Challenge 2003Hot Flash Dollmaking as a Transformative Process

Paper Doll Book 3rd Edition

I write and self-publish short (30-100 page) books and am always planning new onesFor this year one will be looking at the positive aspects of menopause inspired by myHot Flash doll and the article I wrote in the Winter lsquo02 issue of Quilting Artsmagazine I will also include personal experiences and resources for help projectsrecipes and helpful advice This is a Life Passage that many of us are sharing andwhich has been under-discussed in the past In numbers and support there is powerand in humor there is healing

Since I am a doll maker and also an Occupational Therapist the book for this fall willbe about Doll Making as a Transformative Process I will include stories exercises

and examples of work in cloth paper mixed media and book making with anemphasis on dolls I am sharing information with both Rosie Chapman who is a

wonderful performance artist doll maker and student in an art therapy aswell as Lani Gerity an experienced Art Therapist and puppet maker as

well as other doll makers who are also involved in the healing process bothphysical and psychological I believe that the Arts function well as a way to makepersonal issues visible and therefore more amenable to conquering I have found thisto be true in my own life on an ongoing basis in an abusive marriage the familydrama and coming to terms with tragic world events I will be giving a lecture onthis topic at International Quilt Festival in Houston this October and will have thebook ready for this event as well as showing slides of work from the book

The Paper Doll Book is ready for a third printing and this time I want to print inldquosignaturesrdquo which means that the book will have more pages a color cover and colorinsert and will be suitable for selling through stores I would be happy to acceptcontributions for additional projects including a picture of a finished product and a one-page or lessdescription of the project which will be open to interpretation by the reader

I always use lots of examples of my own work but will be soliciting contributions from others formost of my books from now on Making art making books and sharing information are the parts thatI like the best encouraging the growing audience out there to develop your own approaches tocreativity I can work from a clear photo or an electronic file Your description doesnrsquot have to befancy I can edit Include too much rather than too little I have a dial-up internetconnec- tion so I canrsquot download large files but you can mail me a CD If you want

to be considered for inclusion in the slide show please send a very goodimage or slide I can make slides from good images

Anyone who sends contributions that I use will receive 2 copies of the bookin which it appears as well as their contact information with their contribu-

tion Paper Doll and Transformative due 81503 Hot Flash 113003 Moreeditions will follow with more opportunities to contribute

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Making a Fabric JournalFrancie Horton

Have you ever signed up to do a doll roundrobin swap only to find out that you have to ajournal too Maybe paper journals intimidateyou or you just want something a little out of the

ordinary This fabric journal is easy beautiful andprovides loads of opportunity for embellishment

You will need fabric in the following dimensions2 pieces 10 frac12 ldquo by 7 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the cover inside and out

Several pieces 3 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the page signatures Have halfas many as you will have pagesSeveral pieces of canvas 4 frac12 ldquo by 6 frac12 ldquo ndash these will be the pages

I chose canvas for my pages because it can be sewn or gessoed andpainted Also I donrsquot cut my fabric I tear it along the grainline Thisinsures that my pages arenrsquot ldquowonkityrdquo (technical term) and I like therough edges

Place your two cover pieces WS(wrong sides) together Sew frac14 ldquo awayfrom the edge all the way aroundleaving a small open area for turningClip corners and turn Press handstitch opening closedTake your signature strips and stack

them on top of each other and thenalong the inside middle of yourcover Sew from top to bottom SeeFig 1Each of your pages will attach toeach of the signature halves with arunning stitch That way they can beeasily removed to be sewn on andthen replaced just as easily See Fig2 The side view is shown in Fig 3

Baby says ldquoFor a different lookmake your journal open like asketchpadrdquo

Now embellish to your heartscontent The photo shows the coverof my journal I used rick rack ironon transfers buttons beads watchparts stamps ribbons lace andeven an old clothing label I handsewed most pieces but glued othersA trick I learned also was that if I runthe ribbons trimsetcetera through myXyron first with anadhesive cartridgethey stay perfectly inplace while Irsquomsewing Have fun

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Making Funky Beads with Tyvek

by Jill SmithReady for an unusual way to embel-lish those dolls and fabric journals

Then read on about Jillrsquos fool-proofmethod for making Tyvek beads

Now is the time to have some fun and make your own funkybeads with tyvek You can make them in all sizes and any colour

you wantTyvek looks like paper but it is very strong and is water resistant When you apply heat itwill shrink bubble and distort The best thing I have found to heat it is the heat gun as thebest effects are gained It can be bought in different thickness but I find medium is the bestfor making beads (Editorrsquos note The post office has Tyvek priority mailing envelopes thatwork wonderfully)For colouring it you can use dyes acrylic paints inks Sprays anything as long as thecolour you use can stand high heat It will nottear so either use scissors to cut it or you canuse a soldering iron with a fine tip

So this is what you need for the tyvekbeadsMedium weight tyvekPaints or dyes or inksUltra thick embossing enamelStick glueHeat GunKebab Sticks or skewersA baking tin that is shallowFace maskSoldering iron with fine tip if desiredOptionalSeed beads or mini mosaicsEmbossing powder

The first thing to do is to paint your tyvekYou only need to paint it on one side Thenleave it to dryWhen itrsquos dry cut the width of the strips in whatever length bead you want to make and atthe end of the strip cut a pointNow start to wind it onto your kebab stick or skewer make sure you wind it very tight Atthe end of your strip at the point put a blob of glue just to hold it down I find Pritstick orsomething similar works as it only temporary

August 2003Quarterly ZineArt DollzAugust 2003

When itrsquos all wound on put your face mask on in case of fumes Take your heat gun andgently heat it from a bit away at first and coming into the bead a bit later Always keep yourheat gun moving so your bead doesnrsquot get burntWhen your bead has had enough heat lay it on your baking tinNow put some embossing enamel into a small shallow dish Pick up your bead on yourstick and just gently heat it again slightly then dip it into the embossing enamel Heatagain until it bubbles then dip it into some embossing powder or seed beadsThe embossing powder and beads will stick firmly If you donrsquot want to put beads etc onyou can always give it another coat of embossing enamel But I find the tyvek beads canlook just as fantastic without using embossing enamel or beadsThe ones in the picture were just done with tyvek and some I threaded beads onto somewire and coiled it round the beadPlain fine wire can also be wound round as wellAnother idea I have found is to use an old lipstick on the bead and re- heat againThreads in multi colours can be wound and gently heatedIf you want to make lines or small marks use your soldering iron as you would a penFor a crushed bead effect put some beads into a plastic bag and go over them with arolling pin After you have used the enamel roll your bead into the crushed beadsAfter you have made a few beads you will come up with so many things to add to itWhatever you dip your beads into please check first if they can stand heat And always letyour bead cool a little before sliding it off your stick

Recently I was browsing eBay when I stumbled onto awonderful little beaded doll kit I had never

beaded before ndash vacuumed them up yes ndash but tocover a doll in tiny seed beads At only 2 12 ldquo long

though I figured even I might be able to do thisA few days later I received a package containing a hand sewn

body with clay face a bag of seed beads and a bag of assortedbeads and charms With my bobbin of clear thread beading needles andfold-up scissors it all fit perfectly in a mint tin (Altoids etc)I was in the middle of assembling issue one of this zine but decided to do alittle before falling asleep each night I have to tell you itrsquos addicting Myhusband would have to turn out the light to get me to finally stopI didnrsquot expect it to come together so quickly Looking at beaded dolls you might think it would betedious work Itrsquos actually comforting ndash one stitch after anotherThere are two things I would have done differently I would design my doll instead of just doing itldquooff the cuffrdquo turn out how it may And secondly I would read up on beading a bit and learn theright way lsquoCuz ainrsquot nobody looking at the back of this baby grinSome beading links to check out are

I got my doll kit from Ronda Kivett at httpwwwkivett-studiocomShe also offers free Goddess patterns if you feel up to sewing your ownHerersquos what Ronda had to say about her kits

If yoursquod like the skinny on the tiny goddess kits it kinda went likethis I never really thought of them as kits since they donrsquot includeinstructions I started making the goddess doll forms and selling JUSTthose on Ebay A lot of my regular buyers came from my Collageassemblage sales but when they saw these doll forms they wanted totry their hand at beading or embellishing them I started sending freelittle packets of beads along with the dolls and then giving them acouple websites that explained how to bead the dolls to people thathave never beaded but were buying the doll forms Eventually I justmarked up the price a bit and started including the beads in the auc-tions and they were still much cheaper than most kits especially con-sidering I make all the tiny dolls by hand (no machine stitches) Now

when I donrsquot list any on Ebay for a while I start getting email requests for more Theyrsquore gooddolls for beginners to start with since some of the larger dolls can take 40 hours or more tobead
