Dolls on pedestals

It is so exciting! In this September, I participated with two of my dolls at a national doll and teddy creating contest and exhibition. And I'm happy to inform you, that a special price was given for me by the Hungarian Toy Association. This is my first proving in dollmaking, so I'm really joyful for this acknowledgement.

This is an annual contest, and until now, it was organised in Győr, in the city, where now I live.This year it was moved into the capital city, where I grew up, so we fail to meet each other. How strange and special it is. I planned to participate for some time past. I was hoping my dolls participating at this exhibition in Győr, when I was living in Budapest, but I moved to this small city and now my dolls travelled to my home town.

I'm really happy, that I could make it this year, even with two dolls, and I have to say it was an eventful summer for me. Together with the acknowledgement I also got a really beautiful book about the national handicraft products of the year. It is good to have a look on other fields of handicraft, from leathering to lace working.

Actually this whole is not that remarkable, dollmaking in Hungary isn't that widespread, but it makes me proud and affirms me, that ladies, who have been creating dolls for a lifetime found my dollies meritable for any kind of price.
