I am a FAN
I am writing about these hand made dolls because they are nothing short of FANtastic and I'm determined to spread the word.
I'm always looking for new options for Asian dolls. There's a bit of the same old same old out there, but then I tripped across Karen's Kids. These dolls are exceptional. I'm so impressed with her work because she doesn't just do multicultural dolls, she also has "special angels" which are handicapable dolls (down syndrome, cochlear implant, missing limb) wow. How wonderful for so many children to be able to have a doll that "looks like them" and that they can identify with. You can buy ready made dolls that are available for sale, or have one custom made to your specifications. She's full up for Christmas this year already, but this is such an outstanding find that I have to share regardless (and it's not like we don't have the time to wait....)
Her blurb and a sample of her work:
There will definitely be one of these lovely dolls awaiting Vivi's arrival.
