I started customizing art dolls after I realized the only way I could afford custom OOAK dolls was to make them myself. My first doll, Journey, was a literal artistic journey in learning everything available on the internet on how to customize and repair Blythe dolls. I believe each doll has its own personality, and each one feels very unique. It is difficult to let them go, but with every doll that is adopted into a new home room is made to create another doll for someone else, and this inspires me to keep learning and shaping my craft.
