Everybody Needs Dolls

  The last class I want to share photos of is Josie and The Pussycats. Jennifer Buxton pulled out an epic performance entry. Performance showing a lot of fun, but to do it well takes a lot of work. Jennifer was very focused while she was setting up her entry. 

    I'm not sure if Angelo was helping or just there for moral support, but either is a nice option. Performance showing can be really tricky at times. Especially when you decide to use about 25 dolls in one class!

   It was not as epic as her PINK! entry from 2019 as far as horses, but it had a lot of dolls. Everybody needs dolls. This entry drew in the crowd. 

    Once the paparazzi showed up I knew I needed to just stand back and wait for a bit. It did offer a pretty great photo op for the blog though. 

     Jennifer clearly had the same idea!

The entry started out with a fairly simple piece of documentation. Just one cat in that picture.

From the front of the entry you can't really see all that is going on here. 

But when you start to look at the details...

There is a lot going on here!

I love this little cat on the fence post. 

So many cats!

    Jennifer likes to add a lot of details to her entry, which I absolutely love. Every time I placed one of her entries first I felt that people were thinking that I was just automatically placing her entries first because we are friends. Which is not the case. I spent a lot of time trying to find flaws in her entries. But Jennifer is not a lazy performance shower and her entries are not only packed with details but they are very clean. 

    Have you ever tried to make a whole bunch of dolls stand up?  Even more basic, have you ever tried to make ONE doll stand up without a stand? It's not super simple. It gets a lot harder when there are a whole lot of dolls. And when they are holding things or interacting with other props. 

     This was an incredibly detailed, very clean entry, and was a lot of fun to look at. Thank you to everyone who brought out performance entries to judge. Thank you to Heather for inviting me to come out and judge. And thank you so much Jennifer, for giving me so many cool details to look at. More to come!
