Creating Ball Joint Dolls Heaven

Wow! That is all I can say after the second day of Creating a BJD doll with Apryl Jensen. She shows such a simple way for creating such amazing dolls. I can’t wait to get mine done.

Today we covered the torso, hands and feet. Tomorrow we will put the doll together, get some paint done.

Plus she uses all kinds of cool pencils, gouache and watercolor.

Weaving on the Rigid Heddle Loom

Talk about a huge success! Deanna Baugh rocked the house. Thousands of people from all around the World came to see  Weaving on the Rigid Heddle Loom live online course.

No questions were left unanswered and she showed how to weave a beautiful scarf on the rigid heddle loom.

She showed a nice selection of options to weave on the rigid heddle loom. She loves to make dish towels and a lot of our audience does too. That never crossed my mind.
