Tableaux

Making dolls has been a way to use my love of fantasy and the human form.

I am usually inspired by a painting or a book illustration. Inspiration may also come from a vessel, like a teacup or abandoned clock case, or a base (for example, crystals) but often it can be an antique piece of lace or a millinery flower. I like to combine multiple figures of varying sizes in one scene to create a tableau.
