To me creating is a sacred process, because you're in dialogue with your soul.
And at the end, especially, when your creation has a face, your own soul is looking at you. Of course - in my opinion - this applies also for any other form of art like painting, music, dancing, etc, but with those little fellows you always create a "Little You". Or at least a certain aspect of you took form.

My first doll I made, when I was ten years old, and since it was something like playing then, now it became a passion, that takes in a huge part of my heart and my daily life.
In my former life - at least in the beginning of a long and winding road - I was a bookbinder, and though this beautiful old profession couldn't hold me under it's wings, it already showed me, or maybe only confirmed, that craft and working with my hands ist the right thing to do. Only a little "colour" needed to be added...

My puppets are made from different media, most of them from air drying clay or paper clay, but this year I started to work in wood, either.
While the sculpted dolls and marionettes are mainly collectible items, made for decoration, the wooden marionettes are created by professional technics to perform on stage.
