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.
Patiently my dolls have been waiting for me to feel better. I tell myself I will feel better and I do as I get back to work on these dolls. Both girls have hair and I love the look they give me now of wanting me to finish them. I will, I will............I will give them their arms, their hands and their bad ass shoes, no feet............
They will be finished with their outfits complete and hopefully I will have made it through this bad time.
We will see you then.............
