"Thank
you for visiting my newly updated web site. I am so excited to be
sharing all my new little friends and art with you. After selling
successfully on Ebay for the past year I decided to open my own
business and now am able to share more of my works .
A little about me: I am a self taught artist and started sculpting about a year and half ago and to my own amazement -can actually make some realistic characters. I would like to thank Wendy Froud for coming out with her "How To Make A Faerie" DVD. It unexpectedly set off a huge chain reaction that has taken my creativity for a whirlwind ride ever since. I recommend her instructional DVD's as they are easy to follow along and you can always "pause" and "rewind" :D
I feel that the characters come through me and that they are very much their own personalities and have wonderful little qualities . I have only been creating OOAK's (one of a kind's) however,I am now creating molds of a few favorites and we making the Limited Edition Dolls . Each doll is 100% lovingly made by me out of polymer clay. Each doll comes with a COA and are numbered.
Our
family is working together on launching the company and we hope to grow
in the coming months and years. Our oldest son (14 and too smart for
his own good and very computer savvy) will start helping with the web
updates and graphics. Welcome , Devin! :D
For
the doll makers: In the "Links" section you will find many resources
to several free sculpting tutorial web sites and also to my favorite
art suppliers. I will make my own tutorial -just for dolls- in
January. There are several polymer clay artists that offer
demonstrations on how to create hands and feet. So , be sure to brows
through them. They are treasure chests of knowledge!
We
are happy to have this opportunity to bring forth unique, whimsical and
beautiful products that will bring a smile , enchant and touch your
spirit and even invoke the sacred into your everyday lives through the
art and creations being offered here. Thank you for joining us in
launching our first year as we expand into creating many new exciting art, dolls and gifts !"
Blessings and Peace,
The Hedegaard's
