Well, Natascha, I started making dolls about 17 years ago, for a hobby and the enjoyment of it all.  When I moved the MO about 5 years ago I decided to open a doll shop, after all I had all the equipment and most of the molds, so why not?  My shop is very unique, I have a studio, a showroom and retail store.  I teach the art of doll making, do repairs, restorations and oh yes....I make dolls.  I do all the pouring, cleaning, painting....make the clothes...accept for my Bleuettes....all the stuff it takes to make a doll.  I do not specialize in any one particular type of doll, I enjoy them all.  If I had to pick a favorite, I suppose that would be the Bleuettes and Rosettes on the antique side and young children on the modern side.  How's that for a start?  We'll talk again...time to kick back for the night..............
