Special orders are a wonderful challenge for me to create something of my own
from your ideas. I love to stretch my imagination and capture yours. I take the colors, textures, expressions, the essence
of what you want and bring out the feeling in my work and make it your own.

Presenting my newest commissioned piece. "The seasons,
They go round & round......" #1. I am very proud of this one. It took over 2 months
to complete. The first 2 pictures are of Spring. 2nd-2 of Summer. 3rd-set of Fall & the last set of Winter. Each vignette
represents one of the seasons, The dolls can be removed from the scenes. Complete with clouds, rain, sun, harvest
moon and snow. The piece revolves in a circle on a turn table. The backgrounds in each one are hand painted in acrylic.
The leaves are found pieces of silk plants and the clouds, sun and moon are felted wools. The rain in Spring is
made of seed beads, she has a yellow umbrella, Summer is playing with a beach ball, Fall has the harvest from the garden
and Winter wears a very warm coat to keep the chill out, the snow is a string of garland. Standing at 26"tall and
14" in diameter. Commissioned at $1200.00

Santa and his bag of goodies. #74
Close up of his bag of goodies.
This Santa, #74 logged into my doll book. was commissioned
and is in a private collection. Santas can get very complex or stay as simple as you want. I can take your keepsakes and add
them to Santa's bag of goodies. Or have him deliver a present to a loved one. I add Santa's list with your
names of choice. Family, friends, co-workers, extra. It is up to you to decide what color his suit is, the style or era your
Santa is from and all that goes with him. Some have requested a favorite box of chocolates or a pair of running shoes. Santas
are the most fun I have with commission work. Santa magic is very powerful. I love to get swept up into the wave and have it
last all year. He was commissioned at $350.00
