She had a close friend spend the night once that year and I brought my new book, along with lots of felt, threads, combed wool (I spin) and all manner of goodies, into the kitchen with the two girls and announced we were going to make tiny dolls. You should have seen their teenage faces! At first hesitant and then fascinated and completely absorbed, those two girls insisted on staying up till 2:30 in the morning so their little people could be finished! We talked about everything and laughed and laughed and when we were done, we sat and looked at our little people with the greatest satisfaction and joy. Just recently, my daughter’s same good friend came to our house to visit and told me that night spent here was the most fun she has ever had and that she felt so much love in our home. She has her little Wee Folk doll still and wants to make more with her children when she has them.

I just thought you might like to hear that your art has the most profound effect on others in such a positive and loving way. Thank you for your years of sharing. Thank you for leaving your examples of doll art on your website as inspiration for those of us who cannot get enough of them. I am sure you will be blessed in all your new endeavors.

And finally thank you for being true to yourself, for in doing that, what you have created is truly magical.

What beautiful details, what a wonderful show! I was delighted to discover your artwork. I decided Pocketful of Posies was the perfect Christmas gift for my little 7-month-old nephew.

Have you seen the Warli tribal paintings of India? One of the recurring Warli motifs is this kind of spiral whorl with figures. The figures represent the people of the Warli settlement doing a ritual dance, this is done at festivals. There’s a photo here. http://www.firemountainretreat.blogspot.com/

You can see how your work made me think of this painting, yes? :)

But what makes the Warli illustration different is that apart from the circular arrangement, the entire Warli world, including myth/ imagery/ seasons/ life changes is illustrated around the circle, whereas your circle is rich in itself, and all the life details are in the figures of the circle itself.

Thank you for the pleasure you brought to me in seeing this absolutely rich piece of work.

You are a truly gifted artist and a wonderful family historian. I purchased Pocketful of Posies and am waiting for Wee Folk so I can begin to make my own projects. Thank you so much for allowing all of us to peek into your projects and life.

And i will do it for my newborn daughter, maybe an image of her every month of her first year. Beautiful little gift. Thanks for sharing! xx

Like most ideas, there’s no simple source, but a mysterious set of influences and connections. As an artist, it’s my job to come up with ideas, so my mind is always imagining subjects and materials. It’s a fun place to be! Thanks for visiting.
