If you're going to England, you'll need a translator, which I'll volunteer to do.

Not to mention a driver - they drive on the wrong side of the road there you know. As I have experience with that (two weeks in a rental car no less) I believe that you'll need me there as well to chauffeur!

I keep forgetting to ask. what were the topics of the meet. The poster made it seem so interesting

[cirquemom]

It was an exhibit of artist dolls from all over the world, from some pretty famous people, like Wendy Froud, who does the incredible fairy sculptures. The people putting on the show realized that they didn't have any representation of Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls, so they contacted me and asked if I would do a book-signing and presentation. It's all part of an on-going exhibit that will be at the Art Center there through the middle of September. I saw the show at the opening and it is just breath-taking- the Doll as a form of artistic expression.

That is so neat. I love dolls shows, people do the coolest things with dolls. Do you have any close ups of the displays?
