Creations by
Karen Waschinski
~~soft sculpture creatures
lovingly created

Happy Valentine's Day
to
everyone!
This heart (somewhere between the shape of a real human heart and a Valentine heart) was made by using a rat hole-punch on pictures of rose bouquets.
See, rats and Valentine's CAN go together!

Online Hallowe'en Artists' Studio Trick-or-Treat!
It's over now, but please join us from October 1st, 2012, through the entire Hallowe'en season at
http://www.halloweenstudiotour.com
for our 4th year!
(This past
October, 23 artists
with awesome Hallowe'en or seasonal art and 1 museum greeted our visitors on
our virtual studio tour for a trick or treat that gave everyone goosebumps!
We raised almost $1000 for
Bat
Conservation International.)
(Do you
create incredible Hallowe'en art? Contact me if you'd like to take part in
2012!)

***********************
In both "Dolls"
(September issue, pages 7 and 46)
and 
"Teddy Bear Review"
(October issue, pages 34 and 35), read the announcements about the Online
Hallowe'en Studio Tour and my reviews of the May
2011 Philadelphia Doll and Teddy Bear Convention!
***********************
I am honoured to share with you the following news: my critters are in a Russian doll magazine!
In the March 2011 issue of Doll Master, Seian, Sarah Bratbie and Melusine appear on pages 81-83 in an article featuring Canadian Teddy bear artists! (Thank you again Alexandra!) The magazine includes some extraordinary doll art; it's wonderful to get a glimpse of the Russian art doll scene and even more thrilling to have my girls included with these incredibly imaginative and unique creations!
I am thrilled to have an English translation of my critters' part of the article! Thank you so much, Nina! It is a joy to know what was written about my girls, and so flattering!
Just click on the image to your left to read Nina's translation!
