Irina sent this picture of Krista in.  Check out those shoes!  She looks great!  Well done Irina!

Dolls made from my patterns

I am proud to present Laurel - made from my "Krista" pattern, by Allison Ward! Isn't she wonderful?

This next one was made from my Jessie & Jack pattern - so cute!  They were made by Beth Duncan and called - Facing the inevitable!  Just amazingly talented dollmakers!  It gives me a real kick to see what people make!

Little Bit!

Here is a little bit of a mouse I put together to see what it would look like.  It didn't look too bad, so I carried on and now I am very happy with it!  My friend Jeanne liked it and named it 'Little Bit'!

These are collages of Jeanne - the Innkeepers Wife made by some of my students and others who have used my pattern.  Aren't they amazingly all different!  You can click on the pictures to enlarge them.

I've put the bodies in because it shows the results you get from using different fabrics.  Some with two way stretch, some with ine way stretch and some with very little stretch.  It's good to have such an example to compare what results you want ot have. I have thoroughly enjoyed my involvement with all the dollmakers who have contacted me and shown me their creative works of art!  Thank you all!

For those who haven't yet tried my class, I hope you will consider doing so! 

This is my latest doll 'Saucy Sue' , showing off her garter!  She's looking forward to travelling to Benson - near Tombstone, to entertain shoppers in a new shop due to open soon!  She'll have two other friends to join her - whenI get some free time! She's a fun doll to make with a very narrow waist and an embellishers dream!

Angel Mandy 2010

This is a prim Angel I made for my sister Mandy for Xmas.  She wanted something simple.  I had fun making it for her and she loves it - so that's good!

Shery' D'Ath  from the North of NZ made most of these dolls from my patterns of Krista, Dance Like no one is Watching and Jessie.

I love the way she interprets them.Sheryl has comes from a bear making tradition and has applied some of those techniques to doll making with great and unique results!

 This little girl doll with her teddy and cats is also Sheryl's interpretation of "Jessie."

This really "with it' young chick was made by Patricia Young of Westport!  She's from my "Dance like no one is watching!" pattern.  So Cool!

 This is an alternative face Sheryl made for the Dance pattern, which shows some pattern versatility!  Not to mention Sheryl's artistic expression! Divine! Love it Sheryl!

I was delighted with this rendition of my pattern "Jack"  Look at Sheryl's bears!  Arent they fantastic!  She's so clever!  There is a link to Sheryl's site on this blog.  Check it out!
