Prize Bleuette Story!
This little Bleuette was born in 1946, and for her 10th Christmas she wanted a drink and wet dolly very much! She got her baby, who had a hard rubber body, hard plastic head and curly hair. Her baby also had rubber ears! Her baby came dressed in lace and carrying a little rocking horse.
Bleuette also asked Santa for a big teddy bear, a set of paper dolls and many other things! We shall see if she gets everything she asked for as time marches on towards Christmas. (Update 10/03/06.. Santa gave her the bear!)

The "Bleuette in Cloth" class
was a dream come true for Bleuette and Cloth Doll Lovers! With the original porcelain Bleuette turning 100 years old in 2005 she is quite a phenomenon in the doll world right now. What was missing was a Bleuette for cloth dollmakers, so Judi used all her skill and creativity to come up with the perfect cloth version and is presenting her unique doll making technique to the doll world! For more information on the class click Here.
As a follow-up to the class Judi now offers a Mini-Class called “BLEUETTE” In Cloth AS "ALICE IN WONDERLAND". Judi covers the technique of making a molded cloth covered face (using face mold by Sherry Goshon) as well as includes the pattern and instructions to make the "Alice in Wonderland" clothing for Bleuette. Judi also includes the instructions and pattern to make the cute the Little White Rabbit! With all the excitement we wanted to give dollmakers a chance at expanding their skills and winner a few prizes!
Below is the informationon the challenge.

Dollmaker Categories: The challenge will be split into the following 3 categories based on the dollmakers experience...
Beginner...A person who has made one or a few dolls, but is still learning many techniques and needs very good direction to accomplish the making of a cloth doll. They are usually not making dolls as gifts or selling dolls yet.
Intermediate...a person who has the sewing skills down pretty well, is still working through techniques, such as stuffing, jointing and finger turning, but has many, many skills mastered. Can proceed on their own with many things without step by step directions for every skill. Usually does not sell their work, but does make dolls for gifts.
Advanced....A person who has mastered most skills or at least the skills they wish to use for their dollmaking. They can usually look at a pattern and pretty much know what to do without reading it step by step, unless there is something really different about the doll. Many in this category sell their work on a regular basis or are designers themselves. If they sell their work or are designers they are automatically in the Advanced category.
Winners/Prizes... People's Choice - Based on Online Voting, (a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be awarded for each of the 3 Dollmaker Categories)
- 1st.. $100 Doll Net Market Gift Certificate (Judi Pattern, Online Classes and More!)
- 2nd.. $50 Dollmakers Journey Gift Certificate (Patterns and Supplies)
- 3rd.. $25 Dollmakers Journey Gift Certificate (Patterns and Supplies)
