This year's Traveling Doll Project is almost finished, with many of the dolls back with their original makers.

ADO members continue to create dolls in response to the Monthly and Quarterly Challenges, and you can always find our work for sale on Etsy.

The new Doll Collector magazine will have an Art Dolls Only ad funded, in part, by a grant from Etsy.

MEMBER NEWS

Abi Monroe recently raised $2240 for her local Animal Rescue shelter. She conducted a raffle/giveaway with two lovely dolls (actually, 5 dolls in the end!). You can read more about it on her blog.

Dolls Crafter and Costuming magazine has published an eight-page layout of Bonnie Jones' fantasy pieces in their August 2010 issue which is now on newsstands. She also had a tutorial on mosaic bases included. Bonnie says, "This is probably one of the best interviews and articles done on my work recently."

Anna Zueva is a featured artist in the September Doll Collector magazine (which has recently changed its name from Contemporary Doll Collector). She is quoted in the magazine as saying, "As a child, I even  wanted to become a fashion artist and dress real people. Now I dress my dolls and, have to say, I like it even more.  My house is occupied with rags, tiestrings and beads. I just can't pass by a beautiful piece of cloth, even if I  don't know how I will use it."
