Looking Back

 I'm going to be doing a Zoom presentation with the Dollology doll group. While pulling my presentation together, I searched through my blog for early works and when I did what. It was interesting to see how *busy* I was writing in the early days of this blog, and how infrequently I wrote in other years. In the quiet years a lot was going on with my kids before they both graduated from high school. Also, from 2009 on, Facebook got a lot of what would have been blog posts in a previous time.  This was a good activity to do on this gray Sunday morning in Maine, I got to see a timeline of the last 15 years. Here's a thumbnail gallery of some of the images of paintings and folk art dolls I saved to put in my presentation. In reviewing I could see the growth I've made over time as a doll maker and a folk artist.

I followed your blog years ago, then for a while I stopped making dolls. I've thought of your color schemes and your dolls so many times. Your paintings are beautiful. I am also a painter but at the moment taking some time to make some dolls again. Thank you for such an informative blog. It is good to be here again.
