Dolls are among the most popular items collected, along with coins and stamps.
And the occupation of dollmaking is becoming more and more popular all the time. From Singapore to San Francisco, and from Sweden to South Africa, there are people who have corresponded with me about dollmaking and art dolls. The idea of the doll as art may be foreign to you, as well. But there is a growing number of people who either collect or create art dolls. Dolls as art is not such a far-fetched idea, if you look closely at our history of figurative art.
