MADolls

These are art dolls in miniature: mixed-media dolls under 6" when standing. I started wondering, one day, why someone's dollhouse miniatures wouldn't want their own art dolls. Why do the dollhouse kids get to have all the fun? I make these as time allows and they get smaller as my skill improves.
