About the creator, in her own words:
I've always loved dollies, especially the creepy-cute kind!
I started making cloth dolls a few years ago
after reading Neil Gaiman's, 'The Graveyard Book'.
One day I was daydreaming about the little ghost children in the novel,
when I happened to glance over at a couple of Kokeshi dolls
I had bought when I visited Japan and was struck by inspiration.
I grabbed a notebook and began sketching cloth Kokeshi-style dolls with a spooky twist.
Unfortunately, I have more ideas than time when it comes to dolly making.
I'm currently working on some completely new doll designs,
but I'm such a finicky perfectionist that the process of creating
a pattern from my drawings is always a saga.
I tend to drive myself a little crazy trying to invent new ways of
making my ideas work three dimensionally.
