My name is Patti LaValley and I live in the country near the beautiful city of Rainer, Oregon. I'mÊa self-taught cloth doll artist, using my skills in drawing and painting to create my character art pieces. I have been involved in many types of arts and crafts throughout the years. I discovered cloth doll making about 20 years ago after I inherited some vintage patterns from my dear friend Grandma Morgan, a 103 year old dollmaker. My passion for dollmaking developed through a love of textures and colors within a piece of fabric. I like the diversity that dollmaking allows, too. To me, the ultimate form of expression is accomplished when all my skills can be incorporated into one art form. When I bring a smile to someone's heart and face through my dolls I feel I have accomplished everything! I love meeting other dollmakers at shows and gatherings, where I have made many new friends. |
