My favorite doll-makers?
Helen Pringle, Susan Fosnot, Dorothy Heiser. I have a gallery with reference pictures- those are dolls that inspire me. http://www.cozy.org/pics/morgue
I am also inspired by- Tudor portraits and paintings of the Ashcan School in New York. “Realism” painting of the 20’s to the 40’s. Folk art portraits and flowers in the garden.
Right now I am working on a doll inspired by Angela Barrett’s illustrations in “The Hidden House” by Martin Waddell. Her illustrations inspire me.
