\"IMG_9291\"<\/a>The 2014 Salem Art Fair and Festival<\/em> has concluded, but I was lucky enough to be invited to lead an activity in the kids area on Saturday. The activity was painting and decorating a 16″ muslin Bendi doll. I led this workshop for the Salem Art Association back in October, 2013; here’s a link to that post: I’m Nuts For Art<\/em><\/a>. Both art doll sessions were sponsored and generously funded by the Bush Barn Gallery Guides<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’ve done lots of planning over the past couple of months in preparation for yesterday, with the most important being rounding up 60 dolls!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9274\"<\/a>I got all of the supplies to the Salem Art Association and then on Saturday, arrived early enough to get everything ready.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9285\"<\/a>Kids purchased tickets for the various activities\u00a0 . . . . .<\/p>\n

We immediately had kids ready to make a creature and for the next four hours, there was a steady stream of activity. (PS We even had some adults creating dolls, some under the guise of helping<\/em> their child and others blatantly creating!)<\/p>\n
