Shooting Star, Ltd My dollmaking career began many years ago as a young child growing up in Southern California. The first doll I made was a fairy inspired by nature. The flowers of the California Fuchsia, when plucked, turned upside down, and twirled between two fingers are very reminiscent of delightful dancing fairies. Serendipitous moments like this have been a guiding force for my creativity. Today I gather much of my inspiration from exploring my femininity, and motherhood.   I hope you enjoy browsing this web site, where you will find a few examples of my dollmaking, artist workshop information, and hand dyed mohair and silks designed exclusively for dollmakers. Thank you for taking a peek! Denise
