"Cathy Cara and Friends"

UFDC New York Doll Club

As far as I know right now, this presentation is 'UFDC club members only' . However, if that is not the case, I will keep everyone posted. The focus of the presentation will be on our creation of the dolls and ball jointed dolls in general. Members will be asked to bring their ball jointed dolls.

You can find behind the scenes chit chat and keep up with us here: http://catcara.livejournal.com/ . My deviant art page is here: http://catcara.deviantart.com/ . As always, the main webpage is here: http://www.cathycara.com/ . I thank all of you for your interest in our work, your never failing support, and your gracious invitations.

Further on down the road:

2010

Seattle Soom Meet

I think 2009 is too early for us to be ready, but if you are "soomed" expect a major gathering of Herd to occur in Seattle. Edgar and Clyde will be ready. Will you?

2010

"The Wedding of Bramble and Laurant"

The frog and the fairy meet in a Louisiana swamp. After a hard life and upon escaping from a Canadian jail, Laurant meets Bramble and lives happily ever after. The date for this event has not been set.

Link Me

"Would that this garland fair
Might weave around thy Life,
A spell to shield from care,
A guard from every strife."
.
This is a moment for a special thank you to all who have taken the time to journey to an exhibition, meet Orchid in person, and follow our activities on the blog. I am particularly grateful for all the kind feedback and whispers of encouragement.

.
I am extremely pleased when you tell me that the site is a favorite, that you have it bookmarked, and that you explore it often; hoping that you don't miss a thing.
.
For those of you who have asked to link to the site, by all means, please do. My card, provided here, may be used as a banner logo; the address to link to is: http://www.cathycara.com/
.
I am delighted when you tell me how very hard you laugh and how very often you have shared that laughter with family and friends. You don't want to miss this April 2008 as we are planning, "Alice in Wonderland". And no, before you ask, Orchid will not be "Alice"; Alice will be "Alice". Blue eyes and shimmering pale hair already ordered by A.D. So, begin the fun sharing now: "Eat me. Drink me. Link me."

Izzy is Pink

Izzy is pink. Izzy is wonderful. Izzy is an outstanding example of fine doll art. We had been talking about 'interesting dolls' and I realized that I needed to show you Izzy.
.
One buys a 'Soom kit' wishing that an 'Izzy' would jump out. However, that is not how it happens. Dolls such as Izzy might start with a 'kit', but it is only after long hours of hard work, much thought, and often a great deal of money that maybe, perhaps, an Izzy will emerge. Each resin kit doll has the 'potential of an Izzy'; few dolls ever reach that lofty goal.
.
Izzy has all of her 'original' Soom Beryl factory kit pieces. Izzy was created by theFontBandit and loving painted by theFontBandit to 'be herself'. Izzy's petulant spoiled pink princessness comes through in every photograph of her.
