    I thought I had nearly zero interest in dolls, so this video was an eye opener for me. I was completely captivated as I watched Shelley talk about her love of fabric and of the creative source for her signature hair styles. I'm an artist with a pretty good command of color, but I don't think I know of any other artist (myself included) who can put together collages of color in such a wide range of hues and textures as Shelley Thornton. Fabulous work, presented in a delightful and informative video interview. Thank you, Rachel Hoffman. And a big congratulations to my old friend, Shelly Thornton!

    I like te way she has the border on the quilt to really look like a silver frame with the use of blue and gray fabrics. Absolutely beautiful!

    The Moderator of this video mentioned that the paper doll might be mentioned but never was. I cant find a you tube video for a paper doll video from you. Did you do one?If so what is the video called. Thank you. I made fabric dolls in the 1990s. But as I grew older and older I have found certain sewing techniques things I cannot do so decided I would try paper dolls.Thank you

    • @RachelHoffmanDolls

      We didn’t make a paper doll video but Shelley did make some other content for NIADA. You can find her on her website! ❤️

      Hi - Rachel here, the filmmaker. Shelley and I are friends, and it was definitely OK.

      @RachelHoffmanDolls  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s not up to you to judge what she wants to make. Shame you have to be leaving this comment.
      Also, it’s spelled “they’re” when you are using a contraction of “they are.”
