Me in Mercantile Gathering magazine- our yard in Las Vegas
|
| I love all things early and well-loved, 19th century fabrics are my passion..all my work and my home, revolve around this passion. Painted pantry boxes, firkins, bowls, dry sinks, step-back cupboards, all in paint(especially browns)are what make my house a home! I have always had antiques of one form or another..BUT..Once I was introduced to Primitives..I knew that that was what what I wanted to surround myself with..The smell of the old wood,spices, fabric, early kitchen utensils..ALL things made by hand!!! I have always been an artist of sorts, my Mother said that I was her easiest child..a pencil and paper and I was busy all day..I LOVE to draw and design. I went to College for art in New York City, but I hated it..too structured for me..I felt that I lost my creativity, although I did learn some very important technical skills that I still use till this day!! My dearest friend Sandi, who taught me everything about primitives and fabrics and "DOLLS", had an Early very naive rag doll that I was in love with..She gave it to me for my bithday many years back. I wanted more dolls, but I could never find any made the way my cherished rag doll was made..ALL TOO Cutesy!! Sandi said"just make them yourself" SO, I did..some of my early made dolls(early,as in when I just started), I can not even stand to look at! As with everything, the more you do the better you become! I also have done alot of research,looked at photo's and read so much about early made dolls..this is truely fascinating, another passion! |

Dining room in our old home in Las Vegas..I don't think that this photo was in the magazine
|
| So,as time went on, and I became more educated about what Early"Dolly's"should look like and how they were made,I am at the place where I am now! I use only one-ply cotton thread,old if I can find it in good condition..GOOD early fabrics..and stuffings accurate to the period AND all dolls or critters are entirely hand sewn as is all clothing. I know ,I still have so much to learn..but this is my passion and I LOVE what I do and the learning is part of the process and it is all fascinating!!! I also list on "The Primitive Gathering" on the first of every Month. I now have a picture trail..where there are more of my creations For Sale..take a peek if you get a chance!!!! I am trying to update the picture trail every few days if I can!!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for giving me the opportunity to share my passions with you!!! |
