new book
Dear ISBN978-4-529-04700-5,
I love you and hate you. Why did you come now? I ordered you like 2 months ago and you decide to show up on my doorstep right when I haven't a free minute to sew.
Don't you know how vulnerable I am right now to gorgeous book design? Are you trying to make me cry?

screen printed folkster dolls

I watched dvds and read online tutorials. And never did anything about it, for years. Now I’ve finally figured out how to do it. I found myself a willing high school art student to do it for me! Thanks Tess 🙂
We’ve been thinking about printed dolls for a … More
