Thank you for stopping by! We're in the middle of a move across state and building a house! I've left my digital patterns up, and once we're moved into the new house, I'll be back to making dolls and other arts.
Until then, the PDF patterns are all I can sell right now. Cheers!

5 out of 5 starsMiss Madeline Harress is one stunningly beautiful doll. There is so much expression and character in her face! Ms. Conwell is a wonderfully talented artist and I am beyond happy with this sweet one-of-a-kind doll. Thank you so, so much!

I’m so impressed with Jan’s artistry. She went with me to a Doll Club luncheon and everyone was so impressed too. She’s beautiful. I have another one on order. 15” this time. Thank you, Jan!!! -

5 out of 5 starsLove my doll from Jan . She had the most winsome face 😍. I will be replacing all her clothing however . Neither her dress or unders have any type of trim or pin tucks on them ☹️ . Oh dear! She deserves better 😥 I😥Here’s my sweet girl in her very very plain clothes .

5 out of 5 starsThis was the reservation deposit (paid half now, the rest prior to shipping) to create an Izannah Walker doll just for me. Jan was helpful and prompt in finishing up my doll and getting her to me. I think my doll is gorgeous, and Jan is talented and meticulous in her workmanship. I would buy from her again,

5 out of 5 starsJan's dolls are amazing. So perfectly old in appearance, but made just for me. Mine came on Saturday, but Etsy wouldn't allow me to express my joy until today. She could not be more perfect, from her hair to her toes, and I love her dress. And she was a true bargain given how much goes into making one of these dolls. I highly recommend Jan's work.

"In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that doesn't creak." ~ Tom Robbins
My debut as an artist was in first grade, when my hometown museum featured my drawings in an exhibit. I was oil painting by the fourth grade, and sewing/crafting by sixth. I have always loved to make something out of nothing--a scavenger’s mentality I inherited from my mom—and my biggest weakness is an inability to throw away or pass up interesting “found things”.
While I will always need to sculpt something whimsical, ("art for art's sake"), my attention is drawn more and more to making items useful to hearth and home. Textile arts are taking center stage for me; rug hooking, needle punch, wool applique, and quilting (oh, crazy quilting!). There is a strong pull toward the traditional work of creating a warm, comfortable and beautiful home with natural materials. I find it inspiring and satisfying.
I love the challenge of creating folk art with a vintage feel, but not exact reproductions. My approach is that of the Creative Anachronist: to use the methods and materials of the past to create a vision for today.
