After MANY years as a frustrated wannabe artist I was able to begin doing IT after quitting my jobs in education. I did infuse the arts into my teaching at every opportunity. Now I dabble in the fiber arts as much as possible. I also enjoy being with family, reading, playing poker, walking my dog, Beethoven and teaching quilting arts and other areas of the fiber arts.

The last birthday doll
I got word that the last recipient of a birthday doll likes antiques and collectables so I made this reproduction old doll for her. She is all cotton but her head, arms and legs are gessoed and painted. Then they are sanded, rubbed and otherwise abused to get an old look. She wears a silver love heart, an old celluloid button and an old hanky at her waist. I hope that she likes it.
