Background: I can't do without making dolls for some time now. I got familiar with someone who build dolls after the principal of Marlaine Verhelst some 25 years ago. I followed a course and after building 2 dolls I bought a book of Hannie Sarris and started on my own, and yes it is very addictive. Because being creative has always been one of the things I have always done, I have tried out a lot of things. But since a few years now, I started making dolls again. I now mostly make fairies, mermaids, dream worlds and dragons. All my work is handmade and are mostly made of Premier en Premix clay, Modena, FormoFit , Darwi doll and useless materials. I use the air drying clays to build the figures and decorate with pieces of fabric, leather, lace, beads, strass, little shells, and make use of different kind of painting techniques.

My favorite....
