Well... i have to tell you...at first it was just making dolls....dont get me wrong..The Doll is my ultimate first love!!! But we had a new member join our doll club. Well...she's a new member for us...but not new to dollmaking and fiber art. Her name is Stephanie Novatskie (hmmmm...spelling??!) and she has been doing it all! Stephanie has inspired me to really step out of my little cocoon and learn "everything"! I am diving into fibert art and mixed media......clay, which is my main love that got me into dolls....., stamps....ohhhh the stamps.....i'm going broke and running out of shop space!!!!! embossing...blah blah blah.....!
Well....i'm telling you this because there is always someone new to let into your life to inspire you.....there is always a new door to open to allow new creativity to flow in.....and there will always be beautiful art friends that you connect with for life. With that being said....check out an amazing hand made gift that stephanie made me that totally got me creating in overdrive!!!!!

Colleen, this is a mutual admiration society. You are so talented, creative and have such positive energy it is infectious. I am still in awe of your free motion stitching and your sculpting abilities.
