I deeply appreciate the love and patience that you both put into the making of your beautiful art. It is very difficult for me to say that I favor one doll in particular, since they are all so wonderful. I do, however, have to admit that I quite simply adore the above lady. She has a saintly serene and almost Mona Lisa"ish" look about her. I love all your work!!!
