I originally trained in arts and education, working with art groups in a health care setting before joining the eBay community. I began selling after I came across a small bisque doll in a car-boot that was badly damaged but that I new I could repair. I have well developed restoration skills, as I have a love for fixing and repairing old things and it is this background experience and love of recycling that led me to eBay in the first place. I have since been fine tuning these restoration skills while selling vintage and antique dolls and other collectables. I can repair most materials but have particular strength in composition, which is a material I produce for my own art work. I also have painting skills with particular strengths in portraiture, so restoring damaged surface paint, recreating lost features such as eyelashes, lips and skin blush is what I do. I also hand-make accessories for dolls, such as: wigs, clothes, hats, shoes and baby doll dummies.
