Hello,... after spending the past twenty-some years as a painter, working in various mediums, I have found, through a creative journey,... the wonderful art of dollmaking. In making dolls, I not only get to paint, but sculpt, AND work with the antique and vintage fabrics that I love. I hope you enjoy viewing my dolls as much as I have enjoyed making them.
This blog is dedicated to my daughter, Amy. When she read it for the first time, she said that that reading my words calmed her...hah! I laughed. I couldn't imagine anyone saying that to me, least of all someone in my family! Sometime, I will have to tell you all about how Amy and I met... Love you, Sweetie
What a beautiful and "phun" fall post...love your witch, even though I really don't care for witches. And, just like always, you have her dressed in such a darling way.
...And such gorgeous photos too! Your garden, your home, your art...beautiful! Did you make the pumpkin in the last photo? I love it!
...Thank you so much for the sweet comment over at my blog too. I didn't know you had a treadle sewing machine, do you sew much with it? I adore mine and pretty much have a rule if I use antique/vintage fabrics then I must use my treadle...it just feels right. :o)
Just wanted to catch up and thank you ladies for your lovely comments! Melinda, Ludwiga is a fav of mine too, that's why I chose her pix for my hang tags. I named her after a little old lady that lives down my lane. Tj, I made that punkin guy years ago, I think even before I really started making dolls. He just popped outta my head one day... Yes, I have never tried to use my treadle machine. Using it seems a bit intimidating..., I imagine you must be as coordinated as a rock drummer. .. hands and feet doin' two different things at once...Oy! Ok, when I get this bunch of dolls done for Christmas Open House, I'm gonna try it out (if it works)! Thanks again all, have a happy and creative day!
