Most of the dollmakers were not present to man the booth, but I always did. It is very strange to stand there and watch people admire or ignore your work. I always pretended NOT to have made my own dolls, that way people looking at them wouldn't be compelled to compliment them falsely. Thankfully, no one ever said anything unpleasant about them! We had other dollmakers present who'd brag up their own work as though they were Da Vinci...but that's not something I am able to do. <br /><br />Two of my sisters and I recently had dinner with our aunts, and my sister bragged up an absent sister who's very good friends with Jenny Oh, editor of many well known craft magazines. My sister is constantly featured in these magazines. I sat there and kept my mouth shut and didn't tell my aunts one single thing about what I do. <br /><br />I am by nature a very shy person, so the internet is a godsend. Here I CAN play show and tell. I am blind to rolling eyes and bemused smirks, and deaf to unflattering comments. I'll never know if I am passed by without a thought. I like it that way. And I can do it in my pajamas.Robin's Egg Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940955157144789351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37220856.post-63078803498228054672011-06-26T08:28:51.405-04:002011-06-26T08:28:51.405-04:00It is an enlightening thing to sit by your work as...It is an enlightening thing to sit by your work as people either notice or ignore it, isn't it? The little girls are just about the best testament to the fundamental importance of dolls, not to mention they're little dolls themselves. :~)JDConwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610411044128692258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37220856.post-79157137854903077242011-06-26T07:36:41.471-04:002011-06-26T07:36:41.471-04:00Oh, Dixie - sweet little girlies playing with your...Oh, Dixie - sweet little girlies playing with your dolls - the pictures and stories melt my heart!
