Dolls have been central to my creative life for as long as I can remember.

Sharing the process is the cherry on top of the whip cream for me. I have had wonderful opportunities to share my doll making process in many places around the world. England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many of the US states have been host to my cloth doll workshops and much fun was shared and techniques taught.

Fabrics and textiles are central to my creative process and creating a cloth doll marries the two together in a very expressive and personal way. Collecting and gathering vintage ribbons, trims, buttons and embellishments are second only to actually designing a new doll.

I hope you will enjoy the process shared the Cloth Doll Artistry to make a doll and see what fun it is.
