About Me:: baby boomer, have 2 adult children, 1 cat... took an early retirement after 9/11 to concentrate on building my own business.. it was going really well, a large following (several write ups in newspapers including the amsterdam news) until i had a vision issue which forced me to transition to creating cloth art dolls.. i do a couple of juried shows per year. i love old school jazz, doo wop and fondly remember the sexy voice of jackie wilson lol..
i started a new york entrepreneur and a craft recycle group at yahoogroups and co-own the goddessdoll yahoogroup. im also the communication liaison for the manhattan doll club in new york city.

what great beauty you have in your art. I am so impressed with your work. I hope some day I follow your steps. You have inspired me with your dolls to your bookmarks.
I love that mermaid. That is my favorite. I would love to get a hold of one in the future. Your talent is truely blessed and greatness in everything you have done to everything you are doing. Keep doing your art and please by all means show it off to the group. Please add some pictures. I love to see what you are doing now. I can't wait to see what you make next.
