Hello!

I like to think of the art of doll-making as inspiring and calming. I fill each doll I make with love, and hope that this loving energy will carry through to the people who bring my dolls into their families. Welcome to my journal, where I share my creative adventures. Hope you have a pleasant stay!

Look at the intense and contrasting colors in this famous Van Gogh painting. How beautifully the blue of the sky and the resting peasants complements the yellow-brown hues of the field and hay... This is the painting I thought of as soon as I saw the soft gradations of yellows and blues in the sweater I was knitting...

Hope your doll will enjoy this lovely set on a sunny autumn day and, relaxing under a hay stack and looking up into the clear blue sky, think of the great artist who had been inspired by that very same landscape.
