Animal Sculptures

 I decided to finally put a few of my dolls on the website.  

These are just examples.  I have been doing these for my own entertainment for most of my life.

I began to exhibit them a couple of years ago.  Since then I have had to think differently about them.  Three of them recentluy travelled to Finland in a show of Nordic American textile artists.  

I still see them as companions, little spirits.  

There are several of these in Gallery on Fifth in Calumet and also the Community Art Center in Hancock.  The Door county gallery, Moonbird is also selling them.  I keep making them...
