I have been working hard on my craft since 2004, and I think I have a skill level that shows in my work. I am the do over queen and there are many heads without bodies to suggest that these mistakes drive me to the perfect end. The finished doll always seems to lead to the next doll, one is born out of another. This is why I love making dolls. It is the air I breathe and pretty much defines me. I am a doll maker.
This may sound strange but these bodiless heads and headless bodies speak to me. I have control over the parts and pieces individually, but the position involved in the connection is revealed at the moment the pieces touch one another for the first time. The head moves me to sew it in a certain pose, same with the hands and arms. The whole doll forms itself to be expressive according to its idea of itself.

The faces on your dolls are just wonderful!
Ah, the healing power of art. The dolls are wonderful! I just noticed I forgot to put you under my links to favorite blogs...you're there now!
I guess we all have a time in our lives when our heart eventually gets broken...it's part of life and what makes us appreciate the good things. I when through a same situation which probably explains my desire for fantasy creatures and the sad eyes on my paintings...
I just LOVE your dolls and have actually bought(and watched)the Akira Blount dvd. Can't wait to try out her (and your) technique!
