Sam-Dolls-byers--J78A8069Each 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. :

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.

They are all the same, but different, and should be celebrated for who they are and not be judged for … [Read More...]

Doll Story

We know we are just dolls that are artwork, but we have more in life than that. We were created by an artist who wanted to show others who we really are. Each of us is unique, yet we are part of a whole family. There are many of us; other daughters, sons, same-sex couples, cancer survivors and wounded warrior dolls. Each is a different size and shape. We are made out of felt fabric, the artist's grandmother's buttons, yarn and stuffing. And because each of us is unique, handmade by the artist, … [Read More...]

Maker Faires

I 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, … [Read More...]

About Sam

I've made lots of art throughout my life other than dolls. I make pottery and sculpture art projects.

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 … [Read More...]
