New Ideas!

Ok... so I did end up going to the Craft Expo and they had a lot of neat stuff... but I was a bit disappointed. I've noticed that they sell a lot of the same things. So I checked out the dolls that were made and I think I came across just a very few non-repeat items (stuff you can find at the Central or other tourist places). Here are a few dolls that I saw...

Here are a few Kuna cloth dolls... they were $5 each.

This lady had a few original Kunas... cloth and wood spoon dressed as Kunas

Pollera/Kuna/Other Nativity Scenes

There were mini Pollera dolls ($2) and the big cloth Embera Indians on boat ($35)

And Pollera Angel ornaments ($5)

So overall... I came out of here with a few ideas I wanna try. Not necessarily polymer clay dolls... but cloth dolls and teddy bears. Right now I'm in the process of making my own pattern and then sewing up a test toy and see what I come up with. ;) Photos soon... stay tuned!

2010 Panama Craft Expo

I'm going to try and go to this this Friday. It's a craft expo in the city at the Atlapa Convention Center. It starts at 1pm and it cost $3.00 to go in. I miss the last one at the end of July because we were moving to a new place at the time. I'm eager to see my competition, as far as dolls anyways, and what other neat crafts are out there. Hopefully someone will be teaching courses or I can find more fabrics or items which I can use for my dolls.

I will post pics of the event. :)
