Steampunk comes to Doll Street!
Doll Street is happy to welcome Laura to our Faculty. This talented designer has brought a little 
Steampunk to the Street! Here’s what Laura has to say about her creative journey:
“An article in Soft Dolls & Animals featured a doll by epb with silk ribbon embroidery, and since I was teaching silk embroidery for Michaels Craft Stores at the time I decided to try making a similar doll. There was no pattern, so it took several attempts before I had the doll I wanted. So I made my first “art” doll by designing the doll, and I haven’t stopped since. My work has been featured in Dolls United, Quilting Arts, Doll Crafter & Costuming, and Soft Dolls & Animals, where I was honored to be asked to be on their Editorial Advisory Board this year. I still indulge in other crafts, but designing and making dolls is my number one love, along with sharing with other doll makers.”

Mermaids are singing
“I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.” ― T.S. Eliot,
Mermaids are our February theme. So let me introduce Crystal, designed by Caroline Erbsland. This doll will have the mermaids singing to you!
Celebrate the presidents!
“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” – Presidents Day Quotes by John F. Kennedy

All at sea
We are all at sea on Doll Street. Since this month’s sign of the zodiac is Aquarius, we are celebrating the sea. Aquarius is the water bearer, so that led us to all things aquatic!
To that end, we are celebrating mermaids, of course! Plus, a new designer comes to Doll Street. Nancy Leigh-Smith presents Sydney the Sea Horse. This character is designed to hang and has fun fins made with easy machine embroidery. I want one, don’t you?
