Welcome

Thank you for dropping by - I so appreciate your taking the time to look at my blog,
I create one of a kind unique characters . I am passionate about my art and love to incorporate whimsy and usual elements or themes into my pieces. Although I create dolls for all seasons and holidays, I must admit that I adore Halloween and love to make witches and pumpkins and things that go bump in the night.

My work has been published in Art Doll Quarterly and Prims .....Cordelia and Niles, my witch and cat combination were honored to be on the cover of the 2012 Autumn issue of Art Doll Quarterly

I have an Etsy Shop Primville where you will find items for sale and I take limited commissions

Halloween



Here are a few more Halloween creations I did this year,  a collecter in Minnesota - bought three of my Halloween items - Thank you Krista - not only is she a collector but she operates an Artist Gallery, I so appreciate her Patronage.

BEEN BUSY


Juse wanted to add a few photos of my latest works, I have been very busy but been able to find some time to do some fun Halloween projects.  Above is  another set of Izannah sisters that have gone to a collector in Illinois - Mavis and Mercy were so fun to make - my first with bare feet - which I thought were going to be a breeze, wrong, but they turned out okay, their dresses are wonderful fall inspired prints - I was so very happy how they turned out. They are very pretty and serene girls.

Julia my Redone Queen Anne


I did Julia a  couple of months back and really did not like her costume so I just redid her and I must say she is soo much happier in clothing that more reflect her sweet and gentle nature.

Honor waiting for her groom



Back in June I made an Izannah inspired Bride - Honor who went to a private collection in New Jersey,
Barbara, Honor's owner felt that she was missing something and had me make her a groom.  He was a blast to make and I was able to give him all the attributes that insures that he will be a good husband.  I hope that they have a long happy union.

Mimi and Louise




They are sisters and I named them after two of my favorite aunts. If you know me you might ask why not name them after some of your own sisters - I mean there is Bonnie, Judie and Jill - well I am just not good enough yet in my dollmaking to honor those incredible women.

OLIVIA

My sweet Pumpkin Headed Doll - she was so much fun to make and design - and she has such a wonderful character - I know that may seem strange but as I make my dolls I kind of get to know them more and more as they evolve.  I have always been a bit fearful of creating a Chucky - Yikes.

Anyway here is Liv the pumpkin head:

Ysabel


I dropped my peasant angel Ysabel at the post office this morning, she is going to a new owner in Maryland,
which is good - Ysabel loves blue crabs cooked in Old Bay Seasoning, but as she has watched over me for a couple of weeks - I will miss her. 

I think I need to do another angel - I liked have an angel watch over me.
