I agree with all that has been said here about your work, Mimi! Skill, craftsmanship, and design go into every piece you put out. If someone doesn’t understand that, maybe they shouldn’t be commenting on dolls/crafts/art. I’m sorry you had to read such an uninformed review…

I let ‘em have it over there.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
Sorry about plush you–who knows how it all goes down anyhow.

Mimi rocks.

I’m thinking of tattooing it to your forehead.

Well nothing like coming late to the party. Boy I am so sorry Mimi, that is a bummer. I went and added my two cents and it is most telling that you mentioned American Girl dolls. They are spendy in the most heinously commercial way. Having had a son first and with eight years separating them, I am experiencing all things girl right now with my almost seven-year old. Her friend got an AG doll and I have had to explain that, No we are not going to get one, look at all theses dolls you have (Waldorf type) some even that I made. Because of all this, I find the review most stinging. Yes, AG dolls will cost you $90 if your child will let you get away with the most basic of basic “packages” and Waldorf dolls clock in at an even steeper $100 to $140. So even if they were intended for children (which they’re not, gee I remember reading that somewhere on your etsy site) they are not outrageously priced by any stretch of the imagination.

I adore your work, the humor and care that you put into each of your creations. One day I will have a naked robot, when they make it into production. And this granny - hair curlers, who would have thought? Well, you Mimi, you would have thought about making hair curlers.

wow, those dolls for Mahar dry goods are amazing, and whoever wrote that is a dufus. (don’t know how to spell dufus)

Your dolls are really lovely; the craftsmanship is outstanding. And the robots seriously rock. :-)

Mimi, I agree with what everyone else has posted. You are a creative, talented and highly skilled artist. If someone wants a cheap ragdoll, she can go to a big-box store. You don’t do cheap work: you do quality work and everything you create is one-of-a-kind.

The curlers…eeek! So cute!
Re: the review, clearly the writer doesn’t get the whole concept of handmade dolls. Your work is so lovely, so individual, so *Mimi*. Worth every penny (as if that was the final measure of its value.)
I love my polkadot Grandma!
And thanks for the rose photo…I needed that. ;-)

I love your Grandma with curlers, I can’t imagine the suprise on someone face as they turn her over and see her curlers…it certainly brought a smile to my face.

Sorry about the Plush you reject, although looking at the work available it does seem to have a more hard edge to it whereas your work seems to be much more from the heart.

As for the Mir woman, having looked at her blog she seems completely vacuous and doesn’t know what she is talking about.
