My Art Doll Quarterly Arrived!!!

Cecil the Crow

My Art Doll Quarterly is here!!! My Dolls are in there not once but Twice PG. 10 and pg 69!!! OH HAPPY DAY! Just a Dream come true! (doing a little dance). Some of you out there may already have yours...let me know what you think. I know I am jumping up and down...but it is truly an elated and humbling experience all at the same time (emotional soup)! Being alongside of so many great artists in this issue...I can only hope that my article measures up to peoples expectations. My thought in writing it was to share some of what I've learned over time by trial and error and sometimes by accident. My hope for you is that you learn a little something new and come away with ideas that inspire you!

Also in this issue, my very dear friend, LeeAnn Kress of Charmed Confections http://charmedconfections.blogspot.com/ , has FIVE of her wonderful dollies published! I know ya'll will enjoy seeing them (beginning on pg 104)!

Here are some additional pics of my featured dolls for your viewing pleasure...hope you enjoy!

Congratulations on your ADQ feature! I enjoyed reading your article on embellishments. I like to embellish too, and it was fun to hear someone else's perspective. I'm a hoarder of all sorts of doo-dads and it's always fun to come up with the right 'thingy' for each doll.

My doll Pearl is in the Show and Tell Gallery of this issue! YAY!! It's such an honor!

I thought the Autumn issue of Art Doll Quarterly wasn't available until August 1st! I would have ordered a copy sooner!

It is not available to the public until August 1st, as my publisher has told me, but I believe that Stampington sends them to the Artists sooner. Thanks for asking!

XO,

Carly

Allan graduates! Masters of Science!

Masters in Engineering from CU!!! Just last week we went to Colorado for my eldest son's graduation from Colorado University at Boulder. He now has his Masters in Environmental Engineering. He received his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from USF where he was the President of Engineers Without Borders.

He has always had an interest in providing sanitary drinking water to those in other countries who have none. His most recent trip took him to Africa for a few months! He had quite the experience!

Congratulations, Allan!!!

My Son Matthew, Birds of Prey!!!

This is a picute of my son,Matthew, who is the Coordinator for Eagle Watch in Florida!

Audubon’s Center for Birds of Prey opened its doors in 1979. Thirty one years later, the Center is the premier raptor rehabilitation facility in the eastern United States. Raptors treated at the Center include hawks, owls, kites, falcons and eagles. In addition to birds of prey, it also cares for vultures, taking every opportunity to educate the public about these very valuable members of the stork family.

Annual patient admissions average 600, with a release rate of 40%. Approximately 10% of admissions annually are Bald Eagles, and the Center is renowned for its eagle care. To date the Center has released 407 eagles back to the wild.

Non-releasable birds may live out their lives at the Center as education ambassadors. Young birds with permanent disabilities are trained to the glove and become “working birds”, traveling to schools, festivals and other events. They interact with over 20,000 people annually.

The Center is located in a suburban neighborhood on Lake Sybelia in Maitland. In addition to over 20 species of raptors and vultures on display, there are educational displays, a butterfly garden, gazebo and wetlands on the lake and Audubon House, a restored 1924 bungalow.
