NEWS!!

***************************

 

I was featured in the June/July 2013 issue of Start Stratford!

Click here to read the pdf article, written by Maureen Argon with photos by Ann Baggley!  I love the tone of the article and thank you, Maureen, for focusing on the artistic process, much appreciated!

Sharing on Flickr and Pinterest!

Over the years, I've been blessed to receive photos of my critters in the homes of their adoptive families and, until now, they have sat in a pile... until I discovered Flickr!  Now I have them all in one place so everyone can enjoy them!  Click here to get to my Flickr page!

I'd love to share my collection of pictures with you and Pinterest is such a great concept!  Pop on over and see what I've been pinning:  rats, Hallowe'en fun, Krampus pictures of all kinds and inspiring pictures of hard and soft sculptures as well as a hoard of pictures of my work not seen on this website!  Click here to see my pins on Pinterest!

I am honoured to share with you the following news:  my critters were in a Russian doll magazine!

In the March 2011 issue of Doll Master, Seian, Sarah Bratbie and Melusine appear on pages 81-83 in an article featuring Canadian Teddy bear artists!  (Thank you again, Alexandra!)  The magazine includes some extraordinary doll art; it's wonderful to get a glimpse of the Russian art doll scene and even more thrilling to have my girls included with these incredibly imaginative and unique creations!

I am thrilled to have an English translation of my critters' part of the article!  Thank you so much, Nina!  It's a joy to know what was written about my girls, and so flattering!

Just click on the image to your left to read Nina's translation!

The April 2011 issue of Teddy Bear Review includes a photo of Seian on page 21!  Doesn't she look hot!?

While Seian is happy where she is, other ladies are looking for new accommodations, click here to see who's free to come and live with you!  For a price, of course...
