- Oh, goody! You personalized your page! I love it when members take control and run with the tools we have. So, I'm curious.... which specific things did you find easier here? I'm still learning the ropes and would like to improve what I can. I know that many of the members are confused about what can be done here and how to do it- for example, the blog each members is a great way to announce things to the group. Each entry you make pops up in the front.
I took a look at your web page and had to chuckle about the revolutionary artists and other political references you had there. You are going to have to get to know Morna. Go introduce yourself and tell her I sent you. She and I are both interested in politics, but she is way smarter than me in that way. I asked her to start a group here to discuss the election (in a gentle, inclusive way). She said she didn't have time, so instead she started a whole new blog on politics! Sigh... Well, I'm hoping some of the members will start forming some groups around different themes. I think it will animate people.
Just so you know, this group is open to anyone who loves fiber art- so there are some who are not artists, but they may work with it in some way or they may be buyers. Some people have been confused about this. Again, welcome!

American Folk Art Doll Pattern
This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply. Their description:
HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
