I guess the only thing that changed was the style of dolls I love. I used to buy alot of them, I didn't know how to make anything, and one of the gals that I used to buy from did teach me the basics. But from there on out, I was on my own, I mean it was how to make a basic dress, doll body, and that was about it.
Suddenly, a WHOLE new world opened up for me! I had all these ideas coming to me, and I tried using patterns, but couldn't understand them, so I just did it my way, and that's the way it's always been!
I like the VERY primitive dolls, in fact, the dirtier looking they are, the more I love them!
I generally start out SOMETIMES with a concept, sometimes it changes and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, my girls speak to me and tell me who they want to become. As a rule~ this is the way it happens for me. And you know what else? Every single doll I have ever made, comes out somewhere with a heart on it. When I do my stain technique, a heart appears somewhere on them. I took that as one of my signatures, because EVERY one of them comes from my heart, and I guess it shows~ LITERALLY!
The most recent girl I made was my Hag! I had her in my head for three years! I finally took it upon myself to make her, and I was just so happy with the way she turned out!
I have some other girls that I have been working on here and there. I will eventually finish them, one thing you'll learn about me is I tend to have about 10 or more things going on at all times! I am pretty sure I have ADD, but I will not medicate myself, even though sometimes I get aggrivated because I have a hard time staying focused! LOL! My Dad says that's how we artists are! I like to believe that!
So you have met some of my girls~ I am sure you will meet a few more in the future! Thanks for visiting with me, I am enjoying a cup of pumpkin spice coffee!
Have a blessed week!
Renee what a sweet story about the heart of each doll! That is just wonderful. Did you make that cute bunny too? I love pumpkin spice coffee in the fall. Now that I have my Christmas decorations up I'll be drinking Christmas Tradition. LOL Have a great week.

Maybe you and I~ Amy, could do a swap sometime.
