I started making the dolls this past June.

I'm not sure where I got the idea to make the illustrations into dolls.

how expensive is it?

Yes, I make custom illustrations and dolls. You can order

takes about 3-4 weeks. There isn't a minimum.

4) Have you ever thought about making wall paper

from of a mix of the doll designs?

No, but maybe I will now!
