Steampunk comes to Doll Street!

Doll Street is happy to welcome Laura to our Faculty. This talented designer has brought a little steampunk doll by laura lunsford Steampunk to the Street! Here’s what Laura has to say about her creative journey:Laura Lunsford doll artist

“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.”
