I have been drawing and painting my entire life already, but got a bit bored of it. So, I wanted to be creative in another ways. It started a few years ago. I saw a neat little Mike Ashton (Time Team) doll and I was wondering if I could do this as well, or maybe even better, more detailed. To my surprise not only did it go very well, they turned out to be more popular than anything else I ever made.
I added a few of my other creativities as well, just to give an impression of my skills, all though I would never see myself as a professional artist. It is the fun to create which is most important to me.
None of the objects are available, but if anyone would be interested in my dolls, it's just to contact me. I never work with patterns how ever, so (unfortunately) I can't provide those to anyone. My hands just make what my eyes see.
