Winner SD&A Me, Myself & I Contest

Thank you for visiting my website, featuring my dolls. Since most are my own creations, patterns for them are also available. I am still struggling, but doing better at keeping my site up-to-date. I usually put "newest" endeavors up on picturetrail.com/laurasdolls as I make them and I am also adding albums here. I love making portrait dolls of "real" people from photos and there are many samples of them. If you are interested in purchasing any of my dolls or patterns I do have PayPal, or you can send me a personal check. My address is on the Portrait Doll Information Page. Hope you enjoy your visit, and come back again soon.

Me & some of my "Babies"

I started making cloth dolls in 1997.  An article in Soft Dolls & Animals! using silk ribbon embroidery was what got me hooked. I have had many of my dolls featured in SD&A. "Elizabeth & The Water Aerobics Ladies" was a featured pattern in 2004.  The doll shown here was the winner of the "Me,Myself & I" challenge as seen in the April/May 2005 issue and my "Red Hat Momma's" are in the Inspirations column of the June/July 2005 issue.  Sisters Madge & Midge made appearence in the January 2006 issue, and my Altered book is featured in the July 2006.  The sweet young lady in my heading has also appeared there, and is the cover girl for a book I put together with my dolls and poems entitled "I Still Play With Dolls".  price $7.50  My Two Sided Doll, and Guardian Angel were featured in challenges in Quilting Arts Magazine. Several of my dolls are on display at the Turqouise Shop in Alamosa and other work is in the gift shop at at the Rio Grande Museum in Del Norte Colorado. My doll of the "Maiden Kissing the Frog is the cover of Dolls United 2007 Fairy Tale Issue. Bramble Goblintree Fairy is featured with pattern in Doll Crafter & Costuming Magazine Fantasy Issue, Aug. 2007. King Neptune is featured with pattern in Sept. 2007 issue of SD&A and Tattu & Saloni are on the Inspirations page in that issue also.

The April 2006 issue of Colorado Central Magazine had a very nice article about me and my work. You can still access it by going to: http://www.cozine.com select the archives section then just type in my name!

 Unless credited to with another artist's name, all my dolls are my own designs, for which I am working on getting patterns put together. That takes a little time, so if I do not have a pattern listed and you are interested let me know. I have them in rough form, just not put all together. I'm hoping to learn to put patterns in PDF form sometime soon also. Meanwhile I'm trying to get this website done...no easy task for a novice like myself!  I am a blonde you know!

Please note, if you are resident (or visiting) The San Luis Valley some of my work (dolls & other FunStuff) is available now at Mountain Artisans' Gallery at 29919 W. Hwy. 160 in South Fork. .
