Thank you to Yahoo, for this platform to display my lifework. I was fearful, the character dolls, paintings and the other artwork I created would become hidden forever where no eyes could see.
Thanks for the visit, I hope it was an enjoyable one.
Presently I am not creating my dolls, so sorry they are no longer available for sale.
