The Business of Being OSS
Thank you for visiting OSS!
OSS has its roots in my love of Barbie. I began collecting fashion dolls almost 25 years ago when I went online to find information on my childhood Barbie doll. I discovered an amazing online community of collectors and artists, and I immediately felt at home. I met some wonderful people and some of my dearest friends today I first met way back when.
OSS is short for One Sixth Sense, and it sprang to life about 15 years ago. I work in 1/6 scale most of the time, so that inspired the name. I also work in the larger 1/4 scale on occasion. I am what I like to call a "dedicated dabbler". I do a little bit of a lot of things, and I usually have several projects going at once. I paint, I sculpt, I sew, I crochet and knit, I write. All of it blends together into my doll art in some way, shape, or form. OSS is the perfect outlet for what I love to do!
When my husband retired a few years ago, he began to help me with my vision for 1/6 scale furniture and other items for OSS that he works on in his shop aka the garage. He does what I cannot, and it has been and continues to be a wonderful part of our relationship.
You can find OSS here on fabulous Etsy and on Facebook, the OSS website, on various doll discussion boards, and I also blog on Wordpress. Come visit and look around!
