I am a soft sculpture artist and have been since 1979. My toys are small…4″ to *8″ tall, small enough to fit in a child’s hand. They are made from mohair, wool felt or cotton velveteen as the old toys were. My inspiration comes from vintage children’s book illustrations and antique toys. This will explain my color palette. I love what I do…after all I could be making sparkplugs…but silly little toys are much more intriguing.
