Welcome to my "new" website. I have been working on the pages for a while now and have gotten the pages the way I want them. New pictures will be updated soon. 
I have completed my special orders page and PayPal.  
Imagine That!
I am ready for you.

My dolls are one-of-a-kind and as whimsical as an elf singing in a tree. I invite you to look and laugh with my dolls. My guest book is ready for your comments. Sign in, I'd love to hear
from you.

"Sculpting has a very calming effect on me. As my hands work the clay, my imagination overtakes me. The clay seems to take shape by itself. An idea is coming through and I smile. The melody of the colors sing to me. I feel the texture of the fabrics start to move. What happens next is a harmonious waltz with my dolls. When the dance is done the results are always different. Whether by design or a happy accident you can see what fun I have."

When my journey into dollmaking began I wanted to keep track of the progress as my work changed and as I gained more knowledge and fine tuned my skills. I sign and number all my dolls and logg them into my "doll book". The first dolls were draw on the page with their number. Then I began to photograph them for a more accurate record. Each group, Santas, witches, wizards, jesters, chubby fairies and the rest are all in my book. It amazes me every time I look through it and see where I started and how far I have progressed with my work. This keeps me rooted and ever wanting to exceed with my next idea in the making.

As you can see my dolls are all unique. Each one has their own personality. When you see them one will just jump out & catch your eye. I use all kinds of "treasures" to create the hair, the clothes and the finishing touches.
