My mother used to read to me every night when I was little. We got through most of the major fantasy books of that time. The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis were my favorites and, later, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. I started making dolls to fill in the gaps of the dolls I had. Obviously we couldn't buy centaurs and fauns and elves and fairies, so I made them to play with the normal dolls I had. I must have been about six years old when I started making fantasy dolls. .

About This Quote

I was always hard working. I believe in following your dreams and if it doesn't work, try something else. I've always been the same way since I was a child. I used to make dolls when I was in elementary school and in middle school.

My favorite kind of dolls were fantasy ones like elves and fairies and centaurs and the like. My dolls had armor and swords and it was like playing in a video game.
