Welcome to my Customized Dolls section!
Please browse throught some of my favorite creations, most of which are one of a kinds.
I enjoy working with Barbie, Candi, and hopefully Tyler soon. I enjoy using luxurious fabrics such as silk, satin, and chiffon because I feel that these materials are what makes a creation so unique and beautiful. What I look for in my work is good fit, simplicity, and an unique effect in each design. I start out sketching thumbnails of what I have in mind, and then proceed to make changes in the final sketch. I then browse through different fabric stores for samples and to choose the final fabrication used. All of my patterns are created by myself, and I usually go through several mocks before achieving the desired look. It is a sometimes frustrating process, but the results are usally quite satisfying.
Please look for me in the May/June and July/Augest, 1999 issues of Barbie Bazaar, and also Jim Faraone's third FASHION DOLL MAKEOVERS book, to be released in Janurary 2000. If you have any questiosn regarding my work, please email me, I will be happy to respond.
Finally, please enjoy the pictures, and please come back often for updates, you never know where my creative juices takes me next!
