Online, I recently "met" a local (to me) art doll maker, Lillian Alberti, and today we met at her house for a wonderful 'doll play date'. Another doll maker, Colleen Colquhoun from NJ also came and we shared our art dolls, tea, yummy goodies and laughter. It was so nice to meet a local art doll maker! Colleen I've met before, and it was one of those small world things that Lillian and I both knew her. But, the art doll world is, I am finding out, a little small.
Anyway, the dolls that Lillian and Colleen make are AMAZING! I am a new to clay doll making and it is SO inspiring to see such beautiful work. I've posted some pictures of the day and the fantastic dolls. I hope you are as inspired as I am from these dolls! Pictures just do not do them justice!

Sounds like a lovely get together and such beautiful art! I love that the sheep hides under Bo Peep's skirt!
LOVE these!!such talent!!
I continue to be amazed... it is astounding what we find when we just follow our dreams? hearts? talents? I'm not sure which, quite possibly all, but I do know that you continue to evolve as an artist and to expand your world with each step. Kudos!! Gorgeous work!
