Altered Threads ... A Creative Journey

A "Blast from the Past" HGTV's Carol Duvall Show

Way back in 2004, fellow doll artist Dorit Shendzielortz contacted me to say that HGTV's Carol Duvall Show was interested in doing a segment on her. To be cost effective, they wanted to know if there was another doll artist that the crew could tape while they were in the neighborhood; so to speak. Dorit was kind enough to pass along my name. Needless to say, it was a very interesting experience. The crew and producer were outstanding.  The HGTV Carol Duvall segment Handmade Felt Sculptures ran quite a few times over the years.   I finally transferred the segment from DVD. You can either watch the small version here or go to my new YouTube Channel TiberoseStudio for the larger version.

I'm working on some new projects and will keep the updates coming. Remember to check out the upcoming events: Susan & Terry Quinlan's Philadelphia Show and the Annual NIADA Conference and Dollmaking School in Stamford.  Thanks everyone.

Cheers,

Deborah

 

Philly, Stamford, Denver...

With conferences and shows on the horizon, this year is shaping up to be pretty busy. In May, the second annual Susan Quinlan Artist Doll & Teddy Bear Convention will be held in Philadelphia.  Susan, Terry and dedicated friends do a marvelous job of putting on a great event. Last year was a lot of fun. I look forward to attending and showing some new work this year. The museum is also conducting an extensive survey about why collectors buy antique, artist and/or contemporary dolls and teddy bears. To participate, go to the Susan Quinlan Museum & Library website.

 

The 2012 NIADA Conference & Dollmaking School will be in Stamford, CT. The Conference runs Sept. 27-30 and the Dollmaking School is Oct. 1-3. I'll be teaching my felted animal head class. You can register and find out more inforation at the NIADA website. NIADA is offering some great "early bird "specials. Classes tend to fill up fairly quickly.

I've posted some pictures of NIADA 2011 Felted Animal Head Class in Denver. It was such a great time.

 

The students were fantastic and the work was really creative. Thanks. I really enjoyed meeting everyone. Hope you had as much fun as I did.

More to come.

Cheers,

Deborah

Happy Valentine's Day

Oh my goodness. Time slips by so quickly! The NIADA Conference in Denver was fantastic. We have a lot of catching up to do.

I realized that I haven't posted pictures of some of my new work. Check out Le Jongleur and Le Coryphee in my photo albums New Work 2011. I'm happy to say that both pieces  have found marvelous homes in private collections. I will post more in the very near future. Thank you everyone for your support.

 

Lot's more to come.

 Cheers,
