Doll News Spring 2014 - (Page 2)
From the Editor
L
ong before Kindles and iPads and
on-line book stores, there were
libraries. When I was a little girl our
library was housed in an old bank building
on the town square. The children's books
were just inside the door and it was there that
I discovered a small book called The Dolls'
Christmas. The soft illustrations of the charming old dolls appealed
to me and the size of the book was perfect for small hands. Later I
learned that Tasha Tudor had written not only this book but many
others, including another doll story - A is for Annabelle. And quite
a bit later I decided to write a note to Tasha to tell her how much her
books meant to me. Thus began a correspondence between us that
lasted for several years.
This issue of Doll News gradually grew into a theme issue. Many
of the articles pay tribute to different facets of Tasha's fascinating
life, especially her life as it pertained to dolls. Special guest author,
John Hare of Cellar Door Books shares his wealth of knowledge on
the topic of Tasha's dolls and art. Becky Ourant regales us with Part
2 of her article, Early Jumeau Bébés. We will meet a special Hitty
doll with a penchant for penning letters. Mary Senko relates the story
behind the beautiful doll on this issue's cover, Annabelle. Kathy
Monier has designed a well-dressed paper doll to accompany Mary's
creatively photographed tale. We take a peek at a special doll-themed
exhibit presented by the Tasha Tudor Museum last year, Unending
Delight. We will be introduced to a French Fashion doll named
Lavinia Loring whose wardrobe was sewn by Tasha Tudor. Ann Leis
interviews doll-maker Christine Crocker, as well as Marjorie Tudor,
Tasha Tudor's daughter-in-law. Jill Kaar Hanson pens her passion for
Wendy Lawton's delightfully detailed dolls. AnneLise Wilhelmsen
offers us a glimpse into Tasha's fondness for costumes from the
1800s, translating them into tiny garments to fit a 6-1/2-inch doll.
Gael Shults has drawn a lovely paper doll to complement the pattern
pages. Nicki Burley proudly presents the ladies in the on-line Bleuette
Sewing Club who took the challenge to create a Tudor-inspired
Annabelle doll of their own.
We will pay a rare visit to Elizabeth Ann Coleman's historical
home when she graciously opened her doors to visitors during last
summer's convention in Washington, D.C., and we will enjoy Part 2
of the Competitive Exhibits and Special Exhibits that made our 2013
convention so memorable.
May this special issue of Doll News inspire you to follow your bliss.
