Art Dolls and Discounts

This book ...

... is stunning.

My friend Sandy has a doll featured in this book (page 43!) and she let me paw through her contributor copy.  Wowza!  The array of materials used to create these dolls is vast (everything from paper, cloth, and beads to cultural and traditional materials such as fish skins).  The styles cover everything from highly realistic to whimsical, creepy, and everything in between.  Truly a book to return to and savor.

I mostly work flat on paper and fabric and I always will because that is what makes me happiest, but looking at the work in this book makes me want to experiment with the doll form.

A couple of blogging milestones are in the near future - my second year anniversary and the rapid approach of the 500th comment.  I believe there will be some sort of something to commemorate that 500th comment so don't be shy - hee hee! These milestones combined with the kick-off of the Christmas season leads me to offer my blog readers a discount they don't have to trample their fellow citizens to receive:

For friends in the U.S.: free shipping on anything in the Boodzoo Studio shop.

For International friends: 1/2 off shipping anything in the Boodzoo Studio shop.

This offer is good for one week only, through December 1st. 

To get the discount, please follow these instructions:

1. Purchase the item you wish to purchase in etsy.  Then leave etsy.

2. If you're using PayPal, login to your PayPal account, and click on "Send Money".

3. Simply send the total (price of item less shipping fee) to my paypal address, which is: boodzoo at gmail dot com (without the spaces and including the @ sign, of course).

4. If you'd rather send a check or money order (US only), please email me for the mailing address and to let me know your order has been placed.

5. If you have any questions, please email me **before** paying. 

I will be adding a few new things to the shop over the next couple of days, so do check back.

Cool book, my aunt is getting in dolls. I have been stumped on a Christmas gift, so I just ordered it! Thanks for the tip!

You are a gold mine...after ordering the book, I went back and clicked on Sandy and ended up at the Shooting Star Etsy site and bought a gorgeous necklace for my best buddy! Awesome!!!
