ihaveexorcisedthedemons asked: so I have another question! For christmas I got the book Felties by Nelly Pailloux. I started making them and really enjoy it. So when I found your Etsy I fell in love with your dolls. Have you thought about making a book that shows how to make a couple of them?

Today I have a very special custom order to work on. One of my best customers has asked me to make one of her characters into a Nonesuch doll. I LOVE doing this! It’s always a challenge to translate someone’s...
