Here are some pictures of "the girls", as my boyfriend calls them - the dolls are about 18", and started out based on Clare Garland's work, but as usual adding my own twists.

About Me
- Name: Pat Rowan
- Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
I've been fascinated by textiles of all kinds since I was a kid. I design clothing for myself and occasionally to sell, with a focus on recycled textiles. I love trying out new ideas and techniques, especially for accessory items like purses. I took up knitting for about the 3rd time a while ago and got hooked on felting and the idea that I could 'make my own fabric'. Many of the items pictured are for sale - I also make things to order - see the EMAIL link below.
