Create a Doll has come back home to Litchfiled. While I have
retired from making dolls retail for the retail shop, I will continue
making one of a kind dolls. These dolls are made very much
the same as my others however you are the designer.
No two dolls will be the same.
I now spend many hours in my studio sculpting , designing one
of a kind dolls and teaching classes. Please feel free to open
the studio page for updated class information and showings.
Whether you are a doll collector, a play doll lover, or doll enthusiast creating an heirloom doll is a memory to a life time.

"My dolls seem to touch the hearts of many and for different reasons. The poignant stories from my customers are never ending.  
This is perhaps the greatest reward of creating dolls."
