I make dolls and sell them to fund my doll collecting habit. Any one else out there like, make or collect dolls?

1. I just starting making primitives a couple of months ago --
and a few plushies.

Do you have a photo gallery anywhere where I can see yours?

:)

3. Yes!
Mine are vinyl mostly. I just love working with that medium. The color just sinks right in, giving it a nice warm glow. I have worked with porcelain before but once i tried vinyl, I have never looked back. You can see my dolls at www.tinastots-dolls.com I have a for sale page and a photo gallery page with all the dolls I have done. My "for sale" page (adoptable angels) is kind of down right now due to some health problems and recent surgery, but I hope to get it filled back up in next month or so since this is my big season. My hubby just lost his job too so I am hoping it will be a good season for sales. I am glad I got the surgery out of the way before we lost our health insurance but am a little worried about the future. I can't believe how paltry unemployment is, not enough to cover the bills for sure. We have a little in savings but you know, it is not going to stretch far. Okay, I have gone on about my problems long enough, back to dolls! At least they make me happy!

2. We've newly become an American Girl family.
I'm going to finally conquer my fear of my sewing machine for it. My son wanted a boy dolly so he wouldn't be left out, so I have a lot of boy clothes to make (hard to find), and my daughter wants more "school" clothes for her Molly doll.

Making dolls looks addicitive. I'm not sure I'd want to start.
