Response to Dollar Dolls? No Way!

 

I would also say that part of what should keep you in the studio is the love of the process itself and the drive to create. If sales is the only motivator, then you're probably going to be disappointed for just the reasons you mentioned.

If you really do love sculpting, then you just need to find the right market for your work. And there is, apparently, a good market out there for Art Dolls. If you haven't already, you should check out an issue of Art Doll Quarterly or look at a book/video by some of the well-known doll artists out there. Susanna Oroyan and the Creagers come to mind instantly, but there are certainly others. There's plenty of inspiration to be had out there, and you just know these artists aren't getting dollar store prices for their work!



Thanks for dropping by. I recognize your name - I just shipped something to you, didn't I...
