I just now discovered that elinor peace bailey (epb) has a blog! How exciting. She was probably one of the first doll artists that I knew about. Before her, I didn't think about where the ideas for doll patterns came from. I probably thought that they were just like the clothing patterns that I shopped for ... all made by some faceless company. Boy, did she change that thinking in a hurry! Amazing color combinations - absolutely fearless! And I thought that I was daring for the couple of years that I sported hot-pink striped hair and blue glasses. Go check out her site for all sorts of spectrum delights.
