Did You Know.....

....that Lori Brechlin of NotForgotten Farm used to do some of the illustrations for the catalog of former doll, art, craft company Holly Berry Hill??  Yup, Kris Miller also knows and posts that fact on her web site so check it out and you read the list of credits artist Lori has.
In one of these issues is also a doll pattern offered by my friend Shari Lutz.  She has plans to retire very soon to enjoy rug hooking instead of dollmaking.
At one time these catalogs were the rage and collectors items.  I actually saved mine for inspiration, plus having purchased many of the doll patterns when HBH was in business.  Goodness, I've not made a doll in a few years but every once in a while get the urge to make one.  But then all too soon that urge dissipates and another rug is begun.

Have a good evening everyone.  Heat and humidity was horrid today and will be worse tomorrow.

Please be kind to one another.  Hurry back Lori!!

  2. Talking about making dolls. Have you ever heard about Parisienne Essence to stain doll? I had never heard of it until one of my blogger friend posted about it. She is making an angel doll for her potting shed and is using this Parisienne Essence to dye the doll flesh. It looks old and beautiful.
