Maker Faires

44_Daughters_kids_01I sell my dolls every year at the Maker Faires in May in San Mateo, California and in September, in New York City. The Maker Faire is a wonderful event and a special and incredible experience. I have been awarded eight Editor’s Choice blue ribbons for creativity! At the Faire, I help others make their own dolls. I make the doll bodies –- in all the unique sizes and shapes. Then people select their own faces from the button box and choose the hairstyle and color. They complete their own dolls, with my help. It’s a wonderful experience for the kids, their parents and friends. Please come visit me at the Faires to make your own dolls!

I hope you enjoy our gallery of happy 44 Daughters makers, of all ages!

As the days went by, the artist made more and more dolls for the family and collection. Now there are over 800 of us! We know we are very different from each … [Read More...]
