Some of my dolls

I have so many of my fabric dolls packed away and I thought I would bring some of them out, so lovely to see them and remember why they were made. I went to DollU in California twice,I think in 1999 and again just after 9/11 (first flight out of Australia to San Franziska! ) wonderful times. I made both of the African dolls there, the elegant doll was based on a Jill Maas doll that I drew up and my house elf,was a design by, can't remember but she was an Australian girl. Looking back I made so many dolls, even designed some of my own. It was wonderful time and some very talented instructors came out to Australia to teach. I do wish we could go back and do it again. Thank you Joy Martin for getting us started. My arthritic body makes it harder for me to make very complicated dolls any more but I do enjoy going back and trying some of the simpler patterns. Loved DollU and San Francisco is one of my favorite towns. So many memories.

I am the same with arthritis Penny - I can no longer do any of the things like machine embroidery and beading but like you I have happy memories to call back on. Where would we be without them?

Those dolls are lovely - you have a wonderful talent. Did you sell them back then or did you make them for yourself and as gifts?
Thanks for letting me see your beautiful work!
