Kimbo began making handmade dolls in high school under the guidance of her art teacher. (Kimbo's first doll is "Miss Mouse"). She enjoyed it so much that she decided to make one here & there every once in a blue moon. Kimbo likes to mold the faces, hands and feet with her eyes closed sometimes. She says it truly makes her go to a deeper understanding of the features when she's tuning in her senses of imagination and touch. The molding is made from clay which the artist bakes and handpaints. The bodies are hand sewn and filled w/ birdseed or rice. All doll sizes are approximately 10" tall.
