The Vine - November 2011

[Elanorea]

What's New?
It's been quiet on the forums these last few months, with the Miss TDP pageant still on hiatus and no new events being started. However, this November marks the passing of a year since I took over posting the Vine! I've got to say, despite the delays and difficulties, it's been fun for me.

But after all this time, I am considering stepping down as editor and letting someone else take over - preferably someone who is able to occasionally get a newsletter out on time. So if you're interested, let me know, either in this thread or by PM.

If I don't get a replacement, I'll probably continue posting the newsletter, and you can continue expecting schedule slips. At any rate, though, I'm definitely planning to get one more issue out in December!

Doll of the Month
Best handdrawn:
Rosette de Lacroix by Silent_Wolf - I absolutely adore how much personality this doll shows! The shading on the top part of the dress is also gorgeous, and the scratches and bruises are really well done. Congratulations!

Since only two dollmaker dolls were posted in the last two months, I'm postponing the dollmaker award until the next issue.

Art of the Month
Keeping Me Down by spirit_queen - Something a bit different from the usual, a lovely and very emotive charcoal painting by Queenie. I love the black/yellow tone on this one, and the way her hair is drawn is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!
You can comment on deviantArt or in her thread.
