Well I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I recieved my email from I.G.M.A today to let me know I have attained artisan status !
It has took all afternoon for it to sink in as it something I have wanted for a long time and I worked very hard to attain. I tried a few years ago when I was still fairly new to dollmaking and my confidence outweighed my talent...........
This time I kept it quiet and sent in my dolls this october . I have been on tenterhooks since and hardly slept a wink last night waiting to hear the results. I dont think I will sleep tonight either as I am too busy floating on my cloud LOL
Anyway here are two of the dolls I sent along, I have posted these pics before but didnt mention what they were for . I also sent Belle to go with the beast, the good witch and a little ghost girl .
I will be having a quiet celebration tonight with my lovely husband who has been such a support while I was working hard on my dolls and who put up with me while I have been so tense waiting to hear from IGMA !

Congratulations! You've worked so hard for this and you deserve it. :-)
Hi Julie, I think it is a big deal, no, a MEGA-Huge deal to achieve artisan with IGMA. BIG CONGRATULATIONS! I can feel vicariously everything you said you felt, the anxieties, the excitement and ultimately, a sense of achievement that everything you worked for has paid off in some ways.
Igma Artisan could not have been granted to a nicer person - proud of you and proud to consider you a 'mate'.

:o)I agree with Mags,it really couldnt have happened to a nicer person !! I am so very pleased for you Julie, its about time you got this recognition for your fantastic work, you deserve every bit of it :o)
I am absolutely delighted that you have been given the recognition you so richly deserve.
Your dolls have always been wonderful but just recently they have stepped over the fine dividing line from wonderful to magnificent.
I am so proud to own several of your pre-IGMA dolls and next fair I go to when you will be there I will have the joy of choosing a post-IGMA doll to add to my collection.
Well done and hearty congratulations on your success.
