I am a postdoc in oceanography, but I also enjoy making crochet dolls in my spare time. I make both child-safe stuffed animals and collectible dolls with wired carcass and movable limbs. I incorporate my love of nature and nature spirits into my work.

Poppy is a cute calico cat, made in a Turkish van cat pattern. She is wearing a nautical themed outfit: a white and blue striped dress with an anchor applique and stylish red shoes. Poppy and her clothes have been crocheted by hand by me. She has wiring inside, which makes her legs and arms posable - she can sit all by herself. Poppy is approximately 14" tall, so she is about the size of a Barbie doll.
Poppy is perfect for a doll collector and any cat lover. Poppy will be available at the University of Arizona National Arts Program exhibit in March 2017.

The two dolls in the center are crocheted by me, inspired by the spirits of animals and natural elements. The one on the left is a deer spirit, representing stillness of the forest, and the one on the right is a parrot, representing the flashiness and a high-energy environment.
They are placed among the dendrite stones with a picture of mangrove in the background.
