Description

I have been making dolls for over 20 years now. My mom, a wonderful craftswoman and artist, taught me lot through the years. I would make things from her scraps and she didn't seen to mind because she would stop and tell me how I could improve on what I was making. I used to crochet doll clothes (and sweaters for my poor cat....ha ha ha) from the basic lessons that my mom taught me. She also taught me how to paint! We used to do ceramics. She is a very talented tole and decorative painter--who teaches her craft well! She didn't oil paint so I taught myself with basics that she taught me about painting.

Mom always made my clothes and dolls when we were growing up. Wearing one of her dresses was like wearing a 'mom hug' all day long! One Christmas she made me a cloth doll with a painted face and a green velvet dress and bonnet. She also decorated a chair for her to sit in. I fell in love with it! It is one of my most prized dolls!
