Skills and Techniques
I love the use of fibers and vintage material and jewelry. I make most of my items without the use of a sewing machine. All of the faces on my dolls are hand drawn. I make all my own patterns to use on my dolls and items.
I am a wig stylist, cosmetologist, makeup artist, nail technition, and hair product expert.
Lately, I have been knitting again which is a long unused talent. Mom taught me years ago.

Working With My Hands
It seems like I have always done something with my hands. From playing the piano to perming hair its always been about my hands.
Since retiring (salon owner) after 30+ years...(I also worked for Eva Gabor as a wig stylist in the beginning) I have loved revisting long unused talents. Like knitting and I was so lucky to have a mom who taught me to knit, crochet and latch hook.
I also sew and make most of my items without the use of a sewing machine. That is what I call the primitive part of me. Many of my patterns have been seen in craft magazines.
I hope you enjoy taking a look at my shop and stop by often.
The Doll I made for an Art Dolls Only coffee table book.
My very own "Miss Kitty" the Traveling Art Doll that went all over the world to be worked on by different artists.
My very own "Wild Thing" the Traveling Art Doll that also went all over the world to be worked on by different artists.
My first attempt at teeth on a cloth doll. Worked out great!
