Mario's attention to detail is amazing! He works in various scales, and adds all the grunge of real-life. The exhibit runs from September 10th through December 15th. For more details visit the museum page  June found our members hard at work on their show display pieces  Kathy Grissom created this quarter-scale piece - rumor has it that there will be a few more small scale pieces at the show also.  Tasha Burr is creating a 1:12th scale "She Shed" trailer  Thanks to those of you who stopped by to say "hello" and sign up for our email list at the Tucson Doll Show!
It was great meeting new friends! This year we are making 1:12th scale travel trailers for our club project! As you may remember from the January post, member Sallie Grumka put together the kits and taught the class. We will have them displayed at our upcoming show "Mini Roads Traveled". Some members have already finished theirs! Visit the gallery to see some pictures of the finished pieces - of course you'll have to go to the show to see them displayed in all their glory, the picture don't do them justice! This month, along with our annual "White Elephant Sale" we also had a lot of show and tell projects. What fun! Here is one of the show and tell photos - a "Witch's Garden" by Madison Harper.
