Doll Expo
Yesterday I had the honor of being the surprise guest speaker at the banquet at the Pacific Northwest Ball Jointed Doll Expo. The reason Marie Adair, the Expo Coordinator asked me to speak was that next year’s theme is STEAMPUNK!!!! This year’s theme was Fairytales and the creativity was simply amazing.
They have contests for the best dressed dolls, best scenes and so on. There is also a contest for the best photo backdrops and my husband is trying hard not to give in to all the wonderful ideas he has. I do not currently own one of the dolls, but I have to admit, it is tempting. They are beautiful and they have such nice clothes and wonderful accessories! Needless to say, neither of us need any new hobbies, but we are both quite excited for next year’s show. It will be May 10th 2014 at the Kitsap Conference Center in Bremerton. I’ll be sure to post when they have the website updated so you can all join us.
I took a few pictures of some of the fantastic dolls. Â You can view the gallery here. Â Enjoy!
And while they are not ball jointed dolls, I have been collecting images of steampunk dolls that catch my eye over on my Pinterest page. Â You can see them here.
