I got an email from Linda Smith<\/a> who was in charge of the competition at the Kansas City Doll Fair<\/a>. She wrote to tell me that-
\n“Number 87 received a score of 98 points out of 100, and received a Blue Ribbon.<\/p>\n

Number 88 received a score of 97 points out of 100, and received a Blue Ribbon.<\/p>\n

Number 289 received a score of 94 points out of 100, and received a Blue Ribbon.”<\/p>\n

I am not sure which doll is 87 or 88 ( I sent Haze<\/a> and the Edwardian Gentleman<\/a> ), but 289 is Jane<\/a>, the gourd head doll. I was most nervous about sending Jane, because I think she was in a category with many mixed-media and polymer dolls. After my experience last year, I was surprised and very pleased with the scores. I can’t wait to see the written evaluation.<\/p>\n

I had an idea that last year, the person who was judging did not have a clear idea of what I was trying to achieve with my doll. This year I tried to be very clear… assumed I needed to explain. I sent 3 dolls because I thought it would be helpful to see different dolls that shared my style. I wrote about what the inspiration was and also pointed out technical details- like the one-seam hands and the removeable clothing. When I get the dolls back, I will post pictures, what I wrote and the critique.<\/p>\n

This is the REAL reason I thought it was worth sending dolls again this year- I met Sherry Goshon<\/a> at the Textile Tarts summer picnic\/meeting which took place right after WOW<\/a> last year. I showed her pictures of my work. When I showed her the picture of Esther<\/a>, she recognised her… Said she’d seen the doll in Kansas City and had really liked it! Yes Mimi, people are really seeing the dolls that leave my house! I needed to hear that- sometimes, when one doesn’t attend the show it feels like the dolls are going out into a great black hole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
