Welcome to my Art world!

I have finally taken the leap and am blogging!  I am just starting with an array of my work.  I spend a lot of time making art dolls and even more thinking about making them, which leaves no so much time for writing.  So I'm going to let my work talk for me for awhile.


My current project is a challenge entry for the doll club. I am in charge of challenges for my doll club, the Flying Phoebes. So you'd think I'd get the challenges done on time?  Not this one! The challenge was to make a doll on a candlestick.  I found a perfect candlestick at the thrift store, but then I got totally consumed with making my Hoffman Challenge doll. The candlestick waited patiently though. I'm hurrying back right now to start putting together the giraffe lady who will sit on it.  I had in my stash perfect purple giraffe fabric. She will soon be perching on the stick, licking a lollypop!  I can't wait--gotta create!
