Did you know that YOU have the power to change the lives of artists/crafters when you choose to shop on Etsy?
I know this because I put my heart and soul into each piece. They have names, personalities, and sometimes freakin funny issues, and I love them for it. Sometimes when I go down to my "studio" in the morning, I can tell they have been talking to each other about me, bitching about their name or the colors I painted them. No Joke!
So take a look ... if you find an UgLee who steals your heart, shop away. If not, please dive back into the wonderful world of Etsy and find something that does! Enjoy the search and support where you can.
Like I said ... YOU change lives by doing so.

5 out of 5 starsI bought my first BuTTUgLee piece of art when Jenny was living in Colorado. We met at a mutually agreed upon location where she delivered my treasure in person. I am so glad that she is back to making her whimsical pieces and absolutely love my little art doll!
Continue to do the great work you do... -

5 out of 5 starsYahoo! SwiM ShaDY has arrived! Here's hoping he'll like his West Coast home. He'll join the rest of his cohorts in my studio with great joy (and certainly plenty of comments.) You're amazing - thrilled that you're creating these wild and crazy creatures again.

5 out of 5 starsOh my gosh!!!! I fell in love with Prudhoe years ago and have thought of him ever since. When I saw that Jenny was back in business, AND Prudhoe was still available...I knew he was meant to be mine. He now occupies a prestigious spot on our wall and makes me smile every day. Thank you Jenny for your communication, prompt shipping, and most of all your incredible creativity! I love your characters and can't wait to add another one to our collection.

Up Close~
It's been a wild ride!
So ... Here is the story and a little UgLee background
I have designed and created many different styles of BuTT UgLee Dolls over the years. They were small, large, painted, aged, sanded, dressed, or naked. Some were soft sculptures, while others were painted and hung on the wall. I loved them all! Having a variety made creating so much more fun!
That said ...
It is now the year 2020, and I have a few NEW tricks up my sleeve!
My goal was to create a few treasures that fed my soul yet didn't tie me down to a massive studio, a ridiculous amount of supplies plus the wear and tear on my aging hands. It also had to be portable, so that I could work on the go.
I made the executive decision to create characters in miniature. Using linen, bits of yummy fabric, hand-dyed wool for hair, and my new found love for modern embroidery gave birth to a more current version of BuTT UgLee Dollies! Yeah, Baby!
Here is the best part!
The voices in my head came BACK! Yes, they did!
I was concerned that the creative process that was so successful in the past might be old and buried. Well, butter my biscuit! They were back and back in full swing! The voices that gave each Doll a name and a story to tell, all on their own.
It gets even better!
I started to feel like a was a glorious combination of a Den Mother, Head Mistress of an orphanage, guidance counselor, probation officer, foster parent, trusted friend, and mother to hopefully hundreds of dollies. Their individual stories are buzzing around in my head like a flock of Bees. (I know "flock' is the wrong word; work with me here!)
Each Doll is a one-of-a-kind!
I sketch an outline of their body on fresh linen. The form and shape of the face look different every time. There is no way for me to make an exact match. This part of the process is part of the magic. Arms and legs are strips of suede. Hair is hand-dyed Mohair from a talented artist on Etsy. Dresses fashioned of brightly colored cotton fabrics and embellished with coordinating embroidery floss. Faces are hand-embroidered, while Cheeks are compliments of Sephora.
So much freakin fun!
Thanks in advance for your patience. I intend to get several Dolls uploaded to ETSY by January 21st. Then I will begin adding all of my new embroidery designs. We haven't even talked about that yet!
Peace Out!
