My love of Dolls










Okay Ill admit it I am a doll addict, have been for as long I can remember...Funny thing is I hardly ever played with them, I just sat them up in all of their glory and looked at them...and even though I had the Barbie townhouse the cardboard box version with magazine cutout decorations was more homey to me...(trash to treasure even back then)
Now, I can understand my daughters who have countless Barbies and cannot bear to part with even one, but We differ in that they put theirs in the tub, the pool, and to my doll lovers horror, even the mud...lol
In my early teens I didnt want the things that other kids wanted I wanted porcelain dolls and teacups... Hence the beginning of the romantic shabby lover in me... My tastes have changed over the years though I now prefer the antique versions with their gorgeous bisque skin and dripping french lace, budget doesnt always allow for that...
So, I started designing and making my own... Here are a few pics of just some of the hundreds of dolls that I have made... Some are cloth and some are sculpted... All are made from scratch without a pattern and a little peice of my heart goes into eveyone...
Just recently, my ten year old (former mud Barbie player), got a doll just too beautiful to put in the tub... and I have seen her just staring at it...lol its in her blood, after all...
