The Dutch Touch Class

I was a lucky girl, I got to go to NIADA and take a three day class with Kate Church, then to Sanford FL to Anne Hesse's home for "The Dutch Touch Class" Ankie Daanen and Marlaine Verhelst. In the Dutch Touch class, we made a Fish Boy, mine came out as a Fish Girl, with a Halloween flair.

Ankie and Marlaine were really fun, and great teachers.

 I know some of you are checking out the art in the back ground, yes, I took pictures at Anne's and I will post them. Her home was fabulous, we were surrounded with so much inspiration.

Here are some more photos of some of the other's dolls.

                         This is Deborah and her adorable Fish Boy.

 This Marcia, she is an artist from Canada, she and her husband, Ty teach various classes.

I shared two weeks with her in hotel rooms, along with Janice, who hates having her picture taken.

We drank a lot of wine and laughed like fools.

Those girls know how to have fun...

Hi everybody,

Just got back from Orlando FL. I went to NIADA conference.

I took a 3 day class from Kate Church. She was so wonderful.

I love her figurative art. She is a sweetheart. 

Here is some of her work.

I purchased the little guy on the shoe brush. 

It's Kate's "Brushes with Destiny" series. Cute huh!

This is the doll I created for my critique at NIADA.

I had a great time, and learned a lot. 

I'll be posting more photos of NIADA.
