There is something about a wooden doll-  I can so easily imagine all the slips of a blade that might ruin a piece and so I am amazed at the finished artwork!

She works in cloth so I was immediately interested in her work.

Her work is able to get across complex emotions so clearly- jealousy, sibling rivalry, pride, family relationships.<\/p>\n<p>I bought her book-<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"book\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/7:23:book.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>and she signed it for me-<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"signed\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/7:23:sign.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.niada.org\/dollmaking2.html\">Sandra Thomas Oglesby<\/a> had a piece in the &#8220;One Heart, One World&#8221; show that I haven&#8217;t been able to get out of my mind- I love <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cozy.org\/pics\/NIADA\/DSCN1635\">this<\/a> guy!

They were incredibly positive and willing to answer any question for us visiting artists- about suppliers, techniques and were especially great at the critique.
