Scoutmagazine.ca does an article about me! and three other people.

So it started with a sentence and now Michelle Sproule of Scoutmagazine.ca has written an article about my portrait dolls.  Yippee!  She says nice things about me here: http://scoutmagazine.ca/2009/02/05/valentines-day-with-a-twist/
These are my portrait dolls.  Above is the Debby doll.  She has a pretty cardigan with brooch and fancy red satin skirt with gold lining.  Her name is embroidered on the bottom of her foot and she carries with her a red embroidered purse with journal and pencil.  I have so much fun making these precious studies of people.  The subject (or the gift giver) fills out a questionnaire with a photo so I can make an accurate representation and each doll comes with a minimum of three accessories.  Past accessories have included masquerade masks, books, beer cans and tiny iphones.   
oh, and they're anatomically correct.  Tee hee!

I love these! I knew the doll was Debbie before I saw the name etched into the foot. Now the question is: whose chest hair is that?

Yes, I should have mentioned that the photos are of two dolls. The Debby doll and my friend Lauren's husband Matt. The chest is his.
