Here's an article I wrote for DOLLS magazine.

Reworkin' It

Over this past weekend a wild wind of creative energy flew into my house and I got busy makin' stuff again.  I painted.  I painted somethings that I'd been wanting to try my hand at for a while and some things that were presented to me anew.  These are the results:

I painted a Darci stand and reworked several pairs of shoes.  I'd grown weary of the same old silver shoes and wanted something different to showcase the several outfits that I have.  So, I went for it and am very happy with the outcome!

Most of the time I have these dolls tucked neatly away in storage bins... safe from dust and cat hair.  But, once in a while, I take those bins down and fuss with the dolls.  It's actually quite a stress reliever for me and I enjoy gazing at these beauties each and every time.

Then There Were Bears

Well, there it is.  The first of 3 articles I've written for Jones Publishing this Summer.  Even though I know they will be published, finding the magazine waiting for me in the mailbox takes my breath away a little bit.

I do enjoy writing and being able to take the photographs myself as opposed to having to hire someone was a major bonus (thank you art school education!).  It's been a bit since I've appeared in print.  I used to write for Barbie Bazaar and Miller's Fashion Doll magazines a while back (both publications are no longer in print).

I'm very pleased with how this article turned out... and looking very forward to having the other two articles show up in my mailbox to surprise me, too.
