3 Little Darlings

What an amazing week I have had not only trying to get my head around all this technical stuff but also making my dolls.

I want to say a BIG thank you to everyones lovely comments about my dollies, it's so nice to hear positive feedback already.

At this moment I am doing a lot of experimental work with my dolls clothes. As I have said my background is in theatrical costume and I have a huge passion for historical costume especially from 1920's onwards. I love the glitz and glamour of these eras and have always enjoyed making costumes from these times as there is always so much attention to detail.

Experimenting is always fun and my first 3 dolls have defiantly been alot of fun to produce. I am getting things ready to begin selling my dolls, as soon as I have it all set up I will post it on my blog.

Hello one and all

Writing a blog is all very new for me but very exciting aswell. Hopefully my blog will be a wonderful release for all my inspiration that has led me on my journey over the past 10 years in costume design and of course making art dolls.

I always wanted to do Theatrical Make-up, loved the idea of allowing your imagination to be expressed by make-up and prosthetics, I took a course in Theatrical Make-up & Costume. My first lesson in costume I was hooked, I specialized in it and did my final major in menswear. Since then I haven't looked back, it was the best decision I ever made.

I have always wanted to make art dolls to express my need for costume and the history behind it. I am influenced from modern day style icons to classic Hollywood.
