Here are some of my wonderful ooaks collected over the last few years. I have listed the artist's name whenever known, and will add to these photos as often as possible. Feel free to email me for the artists email addresses or websites and I'll try to look them up. None of these dolls shown are for sale, sorry! All rights belong to the artists involved.


My favorite custom creations have always been historical costumes or ethnic costumes, as in the Great Eras or Dolls of the World series. Seeing as I met my husband at a science fiction/Rennaissance convention, my love of medieval and rennaissance garb as well as scifi oriented ooaks should come as no surprise. With our Celtic background (I'm Irish, he's Scottish) the Scotland Forever set is one of my dearest.


Many of these were purchased on layaway over several months or created with my specific color choices and fabric requests, so my anticipation and the personal interaction with the artists has led to a wonderful cameraderie. I made many dear sweet friends over the years, many of whom I buy from again and again. As some of them develop and their skills improve even more I enjoy watching their evolution even as I reap the benefits of their fertile imaginations and skillful hands. To all those dreamers who have shared your beautiful works with me, thank you! And may your professional careers be as full of joy as the dolls you have shared with me.
