TEXTILE ART & FABRIC DOLLS

 

• TEXTILE ART •

Creatures of the Enchanted Forests, Siren Seas and Star filled Skies come to life as hand stitched dolls and textile sculptures.
I collect antique fabrics such as Victorian era lace and embroidery which I use to create my pieces. Aged and time-worn, these materials add an old world mystique to my art and carry their own history forward.
The sculptures and dolls are all handmade and each one is unique. I do not use patterns, only stitches, paint and a little bit of sorcery…
