craftgrrl | Details on the Art Doll Contest by Quilting Arts Mag (Reply)

There is a pattern in the current issue you can use, but it does not say you have to use the pattern listed, in fact this point is not overly clear. The instructions read: To get you started we have included a pattern and set of directions by Lynne Sward. Of course you can use any method you wish, as longs as your doll is two sided." I can scan and email the pattern to anyone who wants to use it, (in my opinion it is rather oddly shaped/unattractive/a very simple form with a dress outline to it's shape and sorta triangular hands).
It goes on to say: "Design both sides of your doll to reflect your egos (or dreamt up personas), and submit your finished art doll to Quilting Arts Magazine for possible inclusion in our summer 2003 issue. (Apparently the email notice I got on this contest was incorrect and the actual doll you make must be sent in, I was originally told to send a photo.) Dolls should be no smaller than 6" and no larger than 12". A brief description of your doll, including your inspiration, materials, and methods used for the piece should be attached. Please include a SASE for returning materials and mail to Quilting Arts Magazine, ATTN: Art Doll Challenge, PO box 685, Stow, MA 01775. Deadline for receipt of entries is March 1st, 2003, they will be returned no later than June 1st 2003.
I have emailed them to get a clarification as to whether or not you have to use their general doll pattern, and are simply limited to resizing it, or whether a original doll style between 6-12" is okay. I read the directions both ways. I'll post the clarifying info when I get a reply.
