Thanks so much for all the info. about your work, it’s inspiring to me, I’m a beginner. I seem to be incredibly creative when buying and collecting stuff but it seems to take a huge leap to actually get on and do the business! Your site really, really helps me, thanks again x

Mimi, that was an awesome interview! I’m so behind on my blog reading and I can’t believe how late I am with this. I enjoyed every minute of it. Everything you said rang true with me as well. The sincerity involved in a doll, the way ideas will “ferment”, the moment the doll comes to life. Also, everything you said about the blogging craft community was so right on. Great, great interview!

Mimi, I was so excited to hear the podcast and you were great! It’s funny about the people/social aspect about crafters or bloggers. It never occurred to me that I wasn’t the only one!

Thanks to you and Sister Diane for the interview, I enjoyed every minute of it.

good job mimi! it was great to see a doll artist “featured”. I also use “figurative artist” when trying to explain my work. i agree that the word doll does turn some people off or make them think of toys. great interview!

Hi Mimi! I started subscribing to your blog because of the CraftyPod podcast. I checked out your Etsy shop and I think your dolls are great! I especially like the tattooed gents, and the big tourists - so fun! Thanks for passing along the nice links. Cheers, Sarah

Mimi,

Your interview is amazing! Diane does seem to be a magician with the editor, but maybe you’re much more interesting and articulate than you think.

I, too, am not-so-comfortable with people in person, but I LOVE my craft blog community. I’ve found that a lot of other craft bloggers are like that, too (like you said). It’s funny that for a long time I thought I was the only one like that out here.

I love that you said that making dolls is something that you needed to be secure, confident, and strong to do. All the “ironic” crafters could really learn a lesson from that. There is something to be said for earnestness, skill, and thoughtfulness. I think you bring all of these things to your work, as well as joy and an impish wink.

Mimi, I’ve just heard podcast: you were great! Sister Diana’s podcast is one of my favorite shows to listen, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear your voice. You sounded very comfortable (and I enjoyed hearing a bit about your ‘previous life’ as a pottery maker) .
