Now, you might be wondering, "Who is this person?" Some of you may follow me and my dollmaking art on Facebook. Some of you may know about me through PDMAG or maybe attended a class I taught.

I don't know about you but I know that I like to find out more about the person behind a website, especially one where I may spend money!!. It offers me a better glimpse into who that person is, their background and what motivates him or her You know, why they do what they do!
That said, here's where you can

"TIME FOR A SNOOZE" is a 14 inch Santa who is the sweetest. old guy you could ever meet. One of my favorite dolls, he even comes with his own "snooze chair".and an ottoman to put his feet up. He's a pretty tired "camper" after that long, cold trip on Christmas Eve... he has definitely earned his nip of the "good stuff" before he has his "well earned" snooze!
upon request, additional photos & info available for serious, potential buyers. .
"Sakura Geisha" is a charming Japanese"sitting doll" measuring 9" tall in the sitting position. She is fully articulated (her arms and legs move) and is dressed in a high-quality cotton/gold flecked kimona with a pretty satin obo and knotted belt.
She will charm you with her quiet beauty as she readies herself and her table to invite guests into her special space. She comes complete with her tea table, 3 cushions. teapot, 4 cups, plate plus a bamboo mat (8-1/2 x 9-1/2") and two small paper umbrellas.
She fits comfortably in a bookcase or on a shelf, credenza or on a side table.

"HARRY" - Now here is 11" of downright pure cuteness!!
​
We all know Harry ... and here he is, wizard wand in hand, in his Hogwarth's School of Wizardy cloak waiting to bring some magic into your life.
​
Add him to your existing collection or showcase him in a "Harry corner" on a shelf or bookcase {between or next to the J.K. Rowling books about him).
His arms are articulated and can be moved into different positions. His clothes are fashioned and sewn from top quality material and he wears shoes sculpted from polymer clay. He can be removed from his base stand.

Imagine.. a pretty fire flickering brightly in the fireplace... the tree decorated in sparkling tinsel and treasured ornaments...the perfume of Christmas tree pine floating gently through the air on the notes of music playing on the old gramophone....the perfect moment for a "CHRISTMAS WALTZ"!
​
Lots of detail in this pair. You can't see it in the photo but Santa even has a watch pocket on his vest and tiny cuff links in his shirt. Mrs. Santa's dress is made of velvet with a vintage hankie for her apron
Santa is 14" and might be missing some hair on top but he sure makes up for it with his curly beard. A rather humorous side note: the fibre for his hair & beard came from a lamb whose name is "You're not a Goat!" It got that name because it keeps acting like one!!

THE ANCIENT STORYTELLER
2021 Gold Award Winner
Professional Doll Makers Art Guild
Published in International Doll Artists Magazine
An ancient art form, storytelling has been with us since the beginning of time! The storytellers of old travelled from place to place and were revered and honoured as members of the royal court. Storytelling then, as now, is an intimate, creative "dance" between the storyteller and the audience.
With his beautiful, mesmerizing eyes, his sparkling white beard, wavy soft hair and wrapped dreds, this "sitting" storyteller is wearing copper-coloured, satin pants, a gold coloured poet's shirt and is costumed in a flowing dark green, gold flecked, velvet cloak. He comes with his own "chair".
Upon request, additional photos are available for serious, potential buyers.
Charlie Chaplin is quite the dapper fellow in his black suit, silk vest and tap shoes.
Charlie had a very interesting life. A rag to riches story, he loves performing for his audience...tipping his hat to the ladies, swinging his cane to the beat and clicking his heels to the music! His "cane" arm and the opposite foot are articulated and can be moved into different positions.
Standing about 9" tall, Charlie is framed in a 12" black wood art frame. The backing is high-quality art canvas painted with top of the line acrylic paint.
Charlie loves to show off and can be displayed on a shelf or tucked, as a delightful surprise, between books in your bookcase.

Emily Carr
Here's a short biography of Emily Carr
This StoryART Scene box is a "moment in time" tribute to the renowned Canadian artist, Emily Carr.
​
The scene box features the artist at her easel beginning a new painting. Standing on a wooden "paint palette"dias, tiny tubes of paint on her easel tray at the ready, a paint brush in one hand and with her palette in the other, she can move both arms to begin her painting.
Emily loved animals and was constantly surrounded by them. What is that on her shoulder? It's her dearly beloved monkey Woo, watching her paint. At her feet, two of her dogs and two favourite cats.
She is surrounded by framed, laser printed miniature "paintings" of some of her more well known paintings including a self portrait of the artist herself.
A list of the "scene box" paintings is included on the back of the box. The strong outer walls of the box are finished in a "stucco" and the base is painted, simulated grass. This scene box will fit on/into a regular bookshelf.
​
Upon request, additional photos are available for serious, potential buyers.

"Ray of Sunshine" is a happy clown who loves a parade and the crowds on the street as he goes by in his cute little car on his way to the circus! He toots his horn, throws candy to the children and revels in the sound of laughter at his antics and the smiles it brings to faces, young and old alike.
​
P.T. Barnum put it best when he said: "Clowns are the peg that the circus hangs on"
Inspired by a friend who was a Shriner Clown, Ray of Sunshine is a different but interesting art doll.

The Notorious RBG - Ruth Bader Ginsburg
​
This quiet but ferocious woman, greatly admired by many, may no longer be with us but her words remain to inspire and remind us to reach for the greater good.
​
“Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
“Every now and then it helps to be a little deaf...That advice has stood me in good stead. Not simply in dealing with my marriage, but in dealing with my colleagues.”
​
"I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability."
​
This bust measures 5-1/2 inches tall x 3-1/4 inch wide. A wonderful reminder of what is truly important in life and in our work, this small bust can be placed on a desk or in a bookshelf. Her collar is hand crocheted, her earrings are of polymer clay and her robe has been made with high-quality fabric. Her hair is hand-sculpted in clay with strands of white fibre. Her glasses are handmade from wire and black plastic.
​
Serious inquiries only please.
