I just discovered this site and I love it! I am an art doll maker and I found so many ideas here that I can use.
Thanks so much!
Cyndi L said…
Nancy, I'm glad you visited! I'd love to see some of your dolls :-)

I have a website that I am working on - it is
www.frontiernet.net/~whimseydoodles

Some of my dolls are there.

I have learned from looking at the mixed media resources out there that the only rules that need to be followed are ones of safety. I love using everything in new ways!

Wonderful work, Nancy!! I especially love Autumn Leaves and the Flamenco dancer :-)
Wow. it's going to take me a while to go this list. There are so many that appeal. Thank you!

Lee Valley Tools is one of my favourites. Their headquarters are in Ottawa, Canada where I used to live, and it's everyone's favorite place to shop for woodworking or garden tools. In the Ottawa store, they have a very interesting display of antique tools. Cool place to shop for sure.

I love their little sets of tins, plus I got a screw punch from them that was way less expensive than the ones being sold at "craft" stores!

Thanks for sharing all of these great resources Cyndi! I thank you, but I don't think my husband will because I just might have to have him build me a few more shelves in my craft room! LOL

Great list!!! We have an AmSci here in town and it's always fun to go see what they have in the store!

I'll add one more... Several of my beady friends recommended Princess Auto, and I finally got around to visiting one recently. This is tool heaven! If you live in or near a large city in Canada, there should be one near you; otherwise you can shop online.
