Recently, my belongings in storage were vandalised and burgled. I've lost my two prints. One was of a single wolf, in the forest, and the other was 2 orcas in a sound. Thanks for the chance to see your wonderful work again.

joann delorenzi: I really love your whale gourd. I think the whale tail would make a great base for the gourd. It would give it balance and design would continue to flow.

February 2, 2004 5:28AM
Carla Potter: Sue, I really like your nature mural and flood. Years ago we had a beige living room wall and I did an indian mural. The center of interest was a Comanche lad on a paint pony. He was praying to the great spirit thanking him for the abund-
dance of animals. That was in 1962 and haven't seen one since. Well, I really do like it.

August 12, 2003 4:15AM
Cynthia: Thank you for an enjoyable website. As an amateur craftsperson with a love of folk art, dolls and teddy bears, I was impressed by the way you applied the Columbia baby painted face idea to cloth bears. I don't know if that was your inspiration, but outside of the old style dolls, it's an approach I haven't seen before. It gives the bears a vintage feel that I particularly like. So many, many bear artists labor at changing the design, when paint, as you show, can work even more effectively. That's a stroke of genius. You've inspired me, something that's not so easy to do.
August 8, 2003 9:17AM
Connie Lorene: Sue: My goodness have you been busy since I last visited in March! My favorite 3 are Baby Nov., Keelie and Amelia. And it only took me an hour and a half to narrow it down.

What a talent you have.Beautiful dolls, beautiful gourds,beautiful art work..and a beautiful artist.

Katherine Lloyd: Dear Sue,
Thank you for the oppportunity to view your wonderful work, especially the faces of your black dolls.
The grandfather of two of my daughter's children was an African-American serviceman, and the children's Daddy is very sensitive about the "Mammy" type of doll, having suffered stigma
and isolation due to his different racial background and obvious dark skin colouring. Thus I really appreciate seeing the work of artists who see the individual instead of a stereotype.
Best wishes

Selah Rose: Sue, Yours dolls are glorious! I confess that you are on my favorites list and I come often to be inspired to paint faces on my dolls, I am a beginner. Your new embroidered and pencil faces are wonderful. Now, I am going to do it, as embroidery is an old friend of mine. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. Selah, a FOCD lurker and fan of yours.

Paulette Perez: Hi Sue,
Your dolls are just beautiful. I am really new at doll making and I hope someday that mine will be half as good as yours. Can you tell me if there are any books to learn to paint faces or do yu sell a book on it ? You are painting them in oil ? I do landscaping oil painting but have never tried faces.
Thanks so much.

gourds! You are a very talented lady.

the pain, creativity is a wonderful outlet.

Sharlene: Sue, The talent you have in making the faces on your cloth dolls just come alive is amazing. I have never seen anything as nice as you do. Teddy bears have always been my first love but these are a very close second. I have your shelf sitters and now I'm going to have to work on a full doll. Keep up the terrific work and I'll keep watching your auctions and this picture site for more wonderful faces!

December 28, 2001 11:39AM
Tammy Brown: Wow, what beautiful painting you do. Are you just naturally that talented? The wolf is amazing. I want to learn to do animals. Any advice for a beginner? I couldn't see the mica chips, but I'm sure it's so beautiful. I was just at the stamp store myself looking for emblishments for my gourds. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful artwork. I loved it.
December 28, 2001 11:27AM
Virginia Stein: I took your advice and looked at the other great
dolls that you have made. I use to belong to a
cloth doll club in Fairfax, Va. but they sort of
desolved. It was a long way for me to go anyway but I wanted to learn. Thanks for the reply.
