Like saying,"I am from Planet Mars." "Dolls are so creepy...." Since when?! You get MONEY for them? No...I trade them for cattle. Of course, I get money for them. "So what are you painting these days?" "Dolls." And so it goes...when an artist changes genres and the doll becomes the art. My favorite: "What do you DO with them?" Does anyone ever ask that of a painting? What is a doll supposed to do? What is a painting supposed to do? Something to muse about. Thanks, Mimi, for opening a dialogue. “You make dolls?”

Like saying,”I am from Planet Mars.”

“Dolls are so creepy….”

Since when?!

You get MONEY for them?

No…I trade them for cattle. Of course, I get money for them.

“So what are you painting these days?”

“Dolls.”

And so it goes…when an artist changes genres and the doll becomes the art.

My favorite:

“What do you DO with them?”

Does anyone ever ask that of a painting? What is a doll supposed to do? What is a painting supposed to do? Something to muse about.

Thanks, Mimi, for opening a dialogue.

My kids make same comment, usually about antique dolls (worn hair, off eyes, faded clothes, etc. - as seen in horror films!) I am interested to follow how successful you are in selling them, and, of course, prices (are these somewhere on website?), crass as that might be. I am not presently selling, but love your dolls and do hope you are getting prices you ask! ... now to check main page... It is such a pleasure to be able to see your dolls online! Dear Mimi-
