For those of you unfamilar with Rabbit Hollow Prims, I began a long while ago... 1989 to be exact. I used to make crafts with my mother who sold at shows in Pennsylvania and Ohio and she would pay me for helping her. I stayed away from dollmaking for awhile and now I am back to making dolls from patterns and recently designing and selling my own dolls that are OOAK. My techniques, style, product & designs have changed alot over the years, but what has remained ever constant is producing folk-art that is truly unique, original, and sometimes OOAK (one-of-a-kind).
I have been an artist in the Hope Mills, NC community for 5 years. I have been a Science teacher for groups of middle school kids, a Science lab expert teacher in the afterschool community school programs for kids ages 11-14.
I often use a distressing technique with acrylic paints and then sanding & baking for a truly vintage and worn out look and rich leathery patina. All dolls are made to last and wear throughout the years to come.
The love of antiques & dolls has certainly been a huge influence here at Rabbit Hollow Prims over the past 17 years! I love what I do, and here is a little insight into my magical world.
