NEVER SAY NEVER-PART 1



"Never say never, for if you live long enough, chances are you will not be able to abide by its restrictions. Never is a long, undependable time, and life is too full of rich possibilities to have restrictions placed upon it." -Gloria Swanson

I always thought that I would NEVER get into making dolls, altering dolls or playing with dolls, for that matter. That changed last week in Las Vegas. Forget.....whatever happens in Vegas , stays in Vegas.

I traveled to visit friends and take a few classes at Art and Soul. I did not sign up for anything to do with dolls, but my friends Joy and Kathryn did.
I decided to keep them company.
We had fun.
Taking apart those "pretty" dolls, with fancy dresses and curly hair , making them grungy and far more interesting.






There were three more classes that will be parts of other posts.
We also went to Boulder City, site of the homes where the people that worked on the Hoover Dam were housed.

We stopped at a vintage shop that displayed old hats.....and a few old "bags", I see.






Paris?......or Paris?



Hoover dam is a short ride. What an incredible structure.


Preview of the ballet de grunge group I put together. it is being shipped.

Viva Las Vegas and thank you to Leighanna Light.

I will tell you about other classes in future posts.
