Hey, I'd love to hear from you. But FIRST read through the six most Frequently Asked Questions below. If your question is there, then please save us both a lot of time. If not, then click on the email link at the bottom of the page.

FAQ'S:

1. Can you tell me anything about this old (or antique) doll I found?

A. No, I am so sorry, but I am NOT a doll expert or historian. If I didn't make it, then I'm afraid I can't tell you anything about it. Why not try the local library? Every library I've ever visited has had books on the history of dolls, or reference books for doll collectors. If that is not an option, then go to my Classifieds and state your question there. (It's free, you know!) This site gets a lot of traffic and someone is sure to know the answer.

2. Can you tell me where to find a certain stretch fabric for needle-sculpted dolls?

A. No, I am so sorry, but I don't use stretch or knit fabric for my dolls, so I have no idea where to buy that stuff. Why not go to my Address Book and look at the needle-sculpted dolls on some of those sites. I'm sure someone there could point you in the right direction.

3. Can you tell me where to buy molds or paints or brushes for porcelain dollmaking?

A. No, I am so sorry, but I don't make porcelain dolls, so I wouldn't know.There are magazines such as Dollmaking and Doll Crafter, especially geared toward porcelain dollmakers. Look for them at bookstores and newsstands.

4. Do you have any tips for making (___) dolls?

A. All my tips are online in the workbook, or in my book, Cloth Dollmaking, or in the patterns that I have for sale. Please don't ask me to come up with them on an individual basis. I do have to make a living. If there is a particular technique you are having a problem with, or you think I could address a certain technique in an online article, I'd love to hear from you.

5. Are you going to have JIDS (Jekyll Island Doll Seminar) again?

A. Not in the foreseeable future. That seminar was fun while it lasted, but it took up 4 years of my life, preventing me from making many dolls, or doing any writing, and brought in very little money. It is time to move on to other things, I'm afraid.

6. Can you please add me to your mailing list, or inform me when you are teaching?

A. I would be delighted! But would you please go to the Mailing List page, and fill in all the blanks? It would be SO much easier if you would do it that way, rather than sending a separate email from here. I promise to respond within 48 hours. If you don't hear back from me by then, you probably entered your return email incorrectly. That happens a lot.

OK. Those are the questions that get asked the most, and my very best answers to them. If you promise NOT to ask them, then click on the LINK below. Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
