44 Daughters

44 Daughters was conceived by Sam Montgomery, an artist and singer, who lives in New York City. His Outsider artwork ranges from handmade dolls to pottery and three-dimensional art made from found objects. The 44 Daughters is a project that began when he was a student at a music academy when he made 44 dolls that lived in his dorm room. The dolls represent what it is to be special and unique.

Every doll is lovingly handmade by Sam. He draws the patterns for the Dolls, stitches them all by hand, stuffs them, and creates their faces with buttons from his grandmother’s button box and hair from yarn. Each Doll is tagged and numbered to show that it’s an original in the artist’s series. No two dolls are alike.

Sam is based in New York City and conducts make-your-own-doll workshops for special events, personal appearances…and parties!

I've been singing for 14 years and it has been amazing to bring joy to others to help them. I was inspired to make the dolls when I was in a music college for kids with learning issues that are gifted in music. My collection suggests what it's like to be a family of people who are all different. I created them to show the world that we are … [Read More...]

Each of the dolls is different and part of a large family. They have individual personalities and appearances. Sam makes each one entirely by hand of felt, fiberfill, yarn and Sam's grandmother's buttons from her button box. They are charming, compelling, surprising and often slightly scary-looking daughters and sons that range in size from two inches to 36 inches. Sam also has hearts that range from one-inch to four inches. We 44 Daughters are Outsider art, not toys. Please be careful with us around small children and pets; we are a little fragile, especially our faces. To purchase your own doll or heart, specify the size on the Order Inquiry Form and the artist will send you a picture of a selection of dolls for you to choose from. : Dolls (Prices are based primarily on … [Read More...]
