Wooden Art Dolls

Laura Robberts has created these wonderful wooden art dolls. She has an online class at Paperwhimsy (http://www.paperwhimsy.com/classes/) with great step-by-step videos on how to make them. These are the ones I made after taking her online class.

Thanks to Jackie Peters who shared the wooden dolls she made on her blog. They're so cute!(http://goodgriefgirdie.typepad.com/blog/2012/04/more.html)

I had so much fun making these dolls and I learned a new method for doing image transfers that works perfectly. I ordered supplies to make another 15 dolls and just might sell some :-). Another great aspect of this project is that I was able to justify purchasing my own drill. (Shh! :-)

I've been wanting a drill for a couple of years now, ever since I saw Gina use it in one of our classes. I purchased the cordless Dremel 8200 with a flex shaft and a multipro keyless chuck (wow, I sound like I work in a hardware store). The flex shaft is that long cord with a marker size tip, which makes using your drill very easy to hold. The keyless chuck enables you to insert your drill bit without using a key. I love that it's cordless too. I read the reviews to find the recommended accessories. I can't wait to find more things to drill!
