It is once again time for our fall MMM!

I am so pleased to announce that one of our teachers will be the incomparable Susie McMahon from Tasmania, Australia. Susie is well known for her outstanding creations and award winning figures. She is also one of the very best teachers around – making each individual student feel calm and accomplished. Few people have the ability to do this. Her classes are incredible and we are so fortunate to be able to include Susie this year.
As you know, I search for exciting artists and new teachers to bring to you. Lucy Landry is just that person! Her artwork is wonderful, vibrant and quite original. And what we will be doing in class will be new to all MMMers.
In April this year, we moved the event to Shelbyville, Ky, which is almost between Lexington and Louisville. We will be at a wonderful Best Western Hotel. The sleeping rooms are quite large, the venue is lovely, full breakfast is again included in your room rate, and I have been able to secure the same rate there as at the old hotel. There are microwaves and fridges in some of the rooms and these rooms will be available on a first come, first served basis, so if you plan to attend, make your reservation quickly. All hotel info will be found at the end of this newsletter. Also, Southwest Airlines flies into the Lousiville airport. This is great news as Southwest offers free baggage for 2 bags!

You will be paying your hotel charges directly to the hotel and making your own reservations. The room rate will be $49.95 plus taxes for a double. The rooms are large so if you want to stay 3 or 4 to a room, you can work it out with your friends, cutting your costs even further.

You will also be responsible for your own lunches. Shelbyville is a lovely town, with many antique shops, and good lunch places, as well as our favorite fabric and trim shop, Making Ends Meet. For that reason we will be having a 2 hour lunch each day, so you can enjoy the town.
We will be on our own for dinner, but usually groups of us go out, so there is no problem if someone needs a ride.

Even though we will have the teachers now for 4 days instead of 3 as in the past, I am still able to cut the price by $75 from last September! And I have another plan in mind as well. The cost of the event will be $350 for 4 full days of classes. If I get sign-ups of 35 or more students, I will further reduce the price to $300 for the entire 4 day event. We can only accommodate 40 attendees, so as soon as you know you will be coming, email or call me.

BOOK DOLL WORKSHOP

This workshop includes techniques for both fabric and paper. Parts of the body are sewn and stuffed in a traditional manner. Other areas are wrapped. Armatures will be used. Wired fingers will be taught. Collage and embellishment will be incorporated. Hair techniques will be explained. There are many choices for the face - fabric, polymer, embossed stamping and beading. A faux leather technique will be taught that can be used on the pages or covers of your book. A book becomes the body of the doll. The doll can sit, hang on a wall, or stand if propped up. There are many applications for this project - you can use any book as the body, for example, you might choose "twas the night before Christmas" and make your doll a Santa figure. Or you might choose to use a Mother Goose book and create your figure in the likeness of "Mother Goose"...and on and on. You can also use an altered book or a journal for the body and create a self-portrait doll. In this case, a faux leather technique will be taught that can be used on the pages or covers of your book.

There are four different sizes included in the workshop - take your pick!
