| Competition Dolls |
| So far, I've just entered two competitions. Definitely, these competitions were learning experiences for me! In this new year, I hope to enter at least one more. Both of the first dolls are original designs. |

| Katherina, the shrew! She's based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" She won a 1st place ribbon in the 2001 AV competition. Antelope Valley Dolls & Bears Show |

| "Bridal Dance" was entered into the Sulky of America Challenge of 1999. Although she didn't win anything, she was chosen to travel in the Sulky Tour in 2000. That was certainly gratification enough for me!! Visit the site to find out about the 2002 Challenge--Sulky of America |
| I used Sulky metallic & rayon threads on the garment surfaces. The doll was made of felt and slightly needle sculpted. Her top was quilted and the outer skirt had pintucking. The neckband and veil was made of machine lace using those same threads. |

| She won a bronze medal for Dollmaker's Journey Olympic Challenge |
| My Cassandra is based on a free pattern-- Donna Schramek's "Callista" pattern can be found here-- Dollmaker's Journey-- Callista pattern |
