This year has brought a deeper commitment from me to this art form. I've discovered what it's like to work in a series, with 5 or 6 dolls started along one basic design, then digress into their own personalities.
One challenge is to narrow down what to convey, as the art form seems to allow for so many options and expressions. New inspiration often comes from the most unexpected sources!
|
The sense of adventure and the rewards of solitary exploration keep me fascinated for hours. I'll be surprised when I finally think to look at the clock and see what time it is.
Design changes evolve with each new doll or series. There seems to always be something I want to tweak along with a need to try new ideas.
|
I feel rewarded when someone reacts to a doll with a sense of recognition. It resonates in some way on a heart-string connected to their soul or reminds them of an all too familiar feeling or expression.
I also feel a sense of serendipity when several design decisions within one doll all come together in cohesive ways I had not envisioned.
|
As long as this art form provides surprises, challenges and an element of risk, I will be compelled to find out "What if?"
