Welcome
When I first started making miniature dolls, I learned from trial and error, and a wonderful (now defunct) online group named TINY TALK. This same group literally put me back into business after my 1998 house fire with donations, supplies and tag team - driving effort that delivered a kiln to my door step.
In appreciate and thankx, I have created a little *DANA* doll world, consisting of an online group (minidollLIST); college (minidollU), online ezine (Frills and Fancy) and more. My goal is to provide anyone, anywhere, with ANY BUDGET the skills necessary to create miniature dolls. And through the kindness of our 1300+ members, we are passing along scholarships, supplies and RAK donations to people in many countries all over the world.
I also want to thank Lesa G for her support and friendship through out the years.
Have fun exploring the website, and HAPPY CREATING!!
