Sherrie Meyer~Conchy Gem Dolls
My doll making journey began 25 years ago through a need to share storytelling and emotion in a hands on medium. As a trauma counsellor I also create dolls with children to enhance their recovery process. I work mainly with cloth, clay and fibre to create figures whose stories embrace the power of finding what gives them strength and courage in their life.

Silke Sordyl~Fairyfelt by SiSo
We moved from Germany to Illinois in 2012, when my husband accepted a job offer here. In 2014 I began felting figures which eventually evolved into the “Gieblinge”. The Gieblinge are little gnomes living deep underground, each one has a particular story which describe their line of work. I am self taught and enjoy the learning process and the challenge to bring my ideas to fruition. . For me, felting is relaxing and sparks my imagination.

GiocondaPieracci~Pupillae Art Dolls
I mostly make dolls inspired by books and theater with a vintage feel. I use wool (needle felting), paper clay and paper because I love warm materials.
