Hello doll makers. My name is Suzanne. I love making things, especially dolls of clay. My passion for doll making has grown over the last 5 years. I discovered sculpting one of a kind dolls, known as OOAK, in polymer clay while searching for answers to a problem I was having: broken legs on figurines I had sculpted for my son’s school projects. For years I had made cute animals and even a male “Spartan” for my son for his school projects or just because he wanted a cute toy out of play dough. I found that I really enjoyed creating these creatures for him. But each time I made a large figurine, my son would come home from school disappointed. “The legs broke.” he would say. So after the last disappointment, I decided to find out what I was doing wrong.

Good morning doll friends! It's been awhile since I posted last. I've had a lot of personal changes happening in my life in the last two years. My family has moved 3 times now in the last 5 years. My husband and I are both originally from Memphis, TN. Because of my husband's job opportunities, we have lived in Paducah, KY for two years, Columbus, SC for a year and a half, and now we live in Charleston, SC near the beach! We even have palmetto palm trees in our yard! How cool is that? Unfortunately, along with moving, I also have been working full time as a preschool teacher. I love those kiddos, but I find I'm just exhausted when I get home, so I haven't opened up my blog page to write about dolls for you in about 2 years. I am hoping this trend will not continue. I have so much to say, and I want to keep you informed about my doll making journey, as well as my other crafting adventures! Along with doll sculpting, I also create my own homemade lye soa
