Hi everyone!
I just recently found this site, while looking for a forum where my dolls would be welcome. I currently have 7 porcelain BJDs made by JRDolls in Russia. Here is a (not very good) pic of them all together:
Back Row: Elena, Kisa, Ishtar, Kateri
Front Row: Ciara Angelique, Katya, Bu Yong

I also design and make cloth dolls. Originally they were inspired by my illustrations, but they have kind of taken on a life of their own. Here are pics of a few of them:
Alyona & Tatyana:

As for me, I am an artist and author. I published my first book, "Dachshund Furry Tails: Russia", in 2009. I enjoy drawing, knitting, sewing, weaving, embroidery etc... I also enjoy learning foreign languages - I speak Chinese (Mandarin, can understand some Cantonese too), and some Russian, and I'm learning Korean. I love animals, and have a miniature dachshund named Ringo. He is my baby. Aside from that, I like watching movies and Chinese & Korean dramas, listening to music, dancing, singing and reading. I especially love fairy tales and folklore.
I look forward to chatting with you all, and seeing your dolls!
