Hi all, I'm so glad to finally have the time to return to DA!! I have been really busy making and attempting to sell dolls through ebay and looking for a new job. I have been making a line of Lovecraftian style dolls and other fantasy pieces. You can see my most recent auctions at http://tinyurl.com/5ulo9
I'll be loading a few pieces here to for you to see. I have missed you all and am glad to be back. And a special thanks to those of you who checked on me through my website.

Art History in a box

I was looking for some fabric in my supply closet today and came across a little box that I thought was in a trunk in the garage. Two of the items brought back fond memories of childhood and art school. When I was little I loved Disney movies, especially the anthrophormorphic animals. When I saw Cinderella, I was so enamoured of the little mice and birds in clothes I made tiny little shoes for the birds in our yard. I don't know how I thought I was going to get them to wear them, but at age 7 it made sense. It was funny to see those 12 teeny shoes.

I think it's run by :ShahrazadStrange: who posted here a little while ago, and although it's new it could be really good. How would you like to join too?

Thanks! I joined yesterday. It looks to be quite interesting.
Wow! Just snooping thru your gallery, you have some really funky stuff. Have you seen a book called Anatomy of a doll by Susanna Oroyan? I figure you'd like some of the stuff in there, it looks at the more wacky side of doll making as an expressive art rather than toys. Anyway amazing! It's nice to see some more sculptural textiles, I wish I'd seen your stuff before.
Thanks Rachel. I looked at your gallery too. I wish I could use a sewing machine better. You have some very nice work posted. I learned alot from the Oroyan books.
I wish I was better at 3D stuff! 
I'm OK with flat stuff but then it starts to go wrong 
not helpful as I did a degree in costume
