FANGIRL ALERT!!! In The Doll World is joined by most versatile & distinguished repaint artists in the doll community Noel Cruz.  www.inthedollworld.com/episodesI have always admired his brilliant work and what a wonderful conversation we had as he shared his journey from drawing portraits since the age of 12 to becoming such a renowned repaint artist, to repainting the most precious doll in his collection.  Although Noel is most recognized for his character & celebrity-based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray, such as Farrah Fawcett, Lindsey Wagner and Johnny Depp to Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Cher just to name a few in his extensive line of iconic repaints,  there is one doll that is not based on a celebrity, and it was during a beautiful moment as he was sharing that doll with me, that I literally was in tears as he talked about the one doll that he had repainted that is the most precious to him.We also talk about his process, the hardest area for him to repaint as well as the one thing you that you must get right in order to be true to the repaint. Can you guess what they are before you listen to the show? His dolls are derived from several models like Gene, Tyler, Sydney, etc, by various doll-makers such as Mel Odom, Robert Tonner & Franklin Mint. His repaints as well as his portraits are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence.He also asks to give a big shout out to MEL ODOM for creating the beautiful doll Gene Doll which has been a very versatile canvas for him work with.  Thank you, Mel from Noel!To see more of Noel's amazing work, visit www.ncruz.com #inthedollworld #inthedollworldpodcast #noelcruz #repaintartist #OOAK #georgettetaylor #georgettetaylorITDWTo subscribe to In The Doll World visit www.inthedollworld.com or follow us on Instagram @inthedollworldIn The Doll World is now on Alexa, to listen to our newest episodes just say, "Alexa open Doll World"

Healing Your Whisper Stories By Tapping into Creative Healing with Yolanda Grier  Whisper stories are those experiences that we have but never share with anyone. They might be about a time when we were bullied, assaulted or something that happened in the past that we regret and need to let go of. Your whisper story doesn't have to be publicized or written for publication for you to heal. Just getting it out will reduce its power and impact by helping you to see it differently because it doesn't tell the truth about who you really are. Telling your story in a creative is the way to heal and reframe your narrative, release the burden from your shoulders and move on with your life. If the experience remains inside you, you are not going to live up to your potential because of the pain; hence it's worth investigating what it is and how to get out of it.    Join the conversation with Yolanda Grier, an artist, author, instructor, as she shares her whisper stories, how they impacted her life, and how she overcame them through creative art journaling. Yolanda is a creative healer and the host of The Creative Healing With Yolanda podcast. She creates a space for healing and fun through creativity by combining words, images, and color. Her mission is to teach others how to thrive through creativity, painting, journals, and OOAK makings.    Tune in!   During this episode, you will learn about; [00:18] Introduction to the show  [02:24] About our guest today, Yolanda Grier [04:26] What are whisper stories and Yolanda's mission in that space [06:24] Yolanda's whisper story at four years old    [15:40] Yolanda's second whisper story with her cousin at 17 years  [20:26] Changing the narrative around childhood traumatic events  [24:26] How depression showed up for Yolanda and how she dealt with it [30:42] How Yolanda got out of her trauma and later became a creative healer  [35:26] Getting into a space where you're able to tell your story to people who deserve it  [37:22] How Yolanda helps people and the ages of the women she works with [43:48] Seeking professional help to reframe your experience and how Yolanda did it [47:03] Art journaling and how Yolanda discovered she had been doing it for healing  [50:29] Why Yolanda left her customer service job and how she became an art educator  [55:44] How to tap into Yolanda's creative healing work and work with her [58:31] Ending the show and call to action Notable Quotes  People's negative reactions don't tell the truth about your story; they just reaffirm that it's not meant for them.

ITDW is joined by  Fredo Hernandez, owner of Frey'Dez Studios.  Art doll sculptor of OOAK fantasy figure sculptures and a Monster High™️ doll repainter.   Listen to the show at www.inthedollworld.com/podcasts Fredo and I had a wonderful conversation about his journey to become an art doll sculptor. He shares with us how he didn't discover the art of sculpting until 2007. He states, ”In a search to discover a way of creating my visions and thoughts without spending years and years and tons of money going to schools (I had already tried three different schools) and earning degrees to be able to create and do what I wanted”. In our conversation, he talks about how he became consumed by the gorgeous images of incredibly talented sculptors, such as Aidamaris Roman & Eneida Rosa, among others.  From that inspiration, he began his journey to build his modest sculpting studio in his home.   Fredo is always on a constant quest to refine and hone his skills and techniques to reflect the passion he feels for his art.  He also utilized 3D programs in conjunction with his passion to aid in the creation of his sculptures.He also passes on some very valuable information and shares some tips and words of wisdom for any entrepreneur who wants to create a business based on their passion. Fredo is a recipient of the 2017 Gold award from the Professional Doll Makers Art Guild. He is also honored to be the owner and Executive Administrator of the International Art Doll Registry, where he can help to serve more of his fellow artists.You can follow Fredo at www.freydez-studios.org and on Instagram @freydez_studios#inthedollworld #ITDW # inthedollworldpodcast #georgettetaylorITDW #freydez_studios #FredoHernandez #OOAKdollsTo subscribe to In The Doll World visit www.inthedollworld.com or follow us on Instagram @inthedollworld

We are joined by the delightful and talented doll clothing pattern designer, Tamara Casey, Owner of Designs by Jude, on In The Doll World, doll podcast. https://www.inthedollworld.com/podcasts As Tamara states, her doll journey was similar and different from others who have become dedicated doll lovers and collectors. When I was growing up my mother and grandmother were both accomplished crafters. My grams owned a ceramic shop, and my mom would make ceramic and porcelain dolls and enter them into competitions. Both women were amazing sewers and quilters and I was neither. I dabbled in their art but preferred being outside. I was a bit of a tomboy.  She eventually found her love for dolls as a young teenager through a friendship with a younger neighbor. They would spend countless hours playing with Barbie.  Tamara thought she would play with dolls well into her twenties, but was wrong and she did not rediscover dolls until she owned a small gift store in 2000. Tamara began her journey back as a painter and customizer. Reading through one of the magazines she saw an article about OOAK dolls. Fascinated, she told her husband that people were buying thrift store dolls and transforming them into mermaids and fairies with paints, silk flowers, and a glue gun.  That began her venture into repainting and customizing.When Robert Tonner's Marley Wentworth was released in 2005 as a basic doll, she decided to create her first sewing pattern. It was a hand-drawn pattern for pants, a top, and a floppy hat. From there the collection began to grow. Over time she had developed a relationship with Jackie, the owner of the Doll Market in Greensboro, NC.  In 2008 Jackie, asked her if she wanted to purchase it.  Feeling she just didn't know enough about the varied inventory and retail was not her goal, she declined.  Tamara states, everything happens for a reason. Just having her ask me about buying her business opened my mind up to the possibility of growing my business. Shortly after that, my mom saw that Gary Fletcher was selling his pattern business, and the rest as they say is "Herstory"To learn more about Tamara and to see more of her amazing patterns of Design by Jude, please visit  https://www.fletcherpatterncompany.com/Follow and like In The Doll World on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inthedollworldInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/inthedollworld/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/inthedollworldLinktree: https://www.linktr.ee/inthedollworld

In The Doll World is delighted to share an interview with international, award-winning, master doll artist, Renata Jansen.    www.inthedollworld.com/creatorsRenata's doll journey began quite by accident! In 2004, Renata's elementary-aged child wanted to help raise money for people who were impacted by a tsunami. To reach her goal, the child made and sold friendship bracelets. Renata thought it would be fun to help her daughter by making clay charms. Renata enjoyed making the charms so much, she decided to learn how to sculpt a fairy! She stumbled upon the world of one-of-a-kind dolls ... and, her doll journey began!Though Renata is best known for her beautiful OOAK dolls and sculptures, she has also made dolls for a major doll company.To learn more about Renata and her art, please visit:https://renatajansen.co.uk​​​Follow and like In The Doll World on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inthedollworldInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/inthedollworld/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/inthedollworldLinktree: https://www.linktr.ee/inthedollworld  

Whoo...hoo... NiniMomo In The Doll World house, another fangirl moment for us as we are joined my Nik Moronse, Owner of NimiMomo and Marie Lebreton,  both exquisite OOAK Designers at  www.inthedollworld.com/customizersJoin us as Nik and Marie share their wonderful stories about they got started, how they met, became friends and worked together to create the amazing company of NiniMomo, who has just celebrated  their 25th year creating exquisite one-of-a-kind doll designs.  Nik states, being raised in a strong Italian family, it was not cool for boys to play with dolls. He found a way to play with them, through his sister and friends and found himself, lets just say "borrowing" dolls from the neighborhood girls.  His love for dolls and pageants blossomed into creating one-of-a-kind beautifully designed clothes and NiniMomo was born. Marie was introduced to the sewing machine by her mother at a very young age and quickly became involved in making clothing for herself and friends but sewing exquisite fashions for dolls was totally another world all together.

Join our wonderful conversation with Patrizia Cozzo on In The Doll World doll podcast as she shares with us her unique story. One that did not start with a love for dolls at https://www.inthedollworld.com/creators Patrizia says  was not very fond of dolls until she fell in love with the wonderful world of OOAK dolls years ago while surfing on the net. She did  play with dolls when she was a little girl, and liked them, but  was not in love so to speak.  For her, discovering the art dolls world was a turning point.   She talks about how she could not afford the stunning creations she had seen,  so she decided she would give it a try and create one herself.    She did know about polymer clay when she was around 15 and was making jewelry and little animals, and because of that polymer clay was a natural choice for her.Patrizia states,  I studied all I could find about doll making online and made my first doll in 2007.Patrizia has also has great recognition in America as well as in Russia and Spain. She has been featured in many publications, such as Fashion Doll Quarterly and has also received many awards from  Russia and  Spain (PDMAG Gold Award, Collii Award, Gaudir Award).

She has a passion for creating dolls that are affordable OOAK, because she remembers what it felt like not to be able to afford a doll she really wanted.We also get to learn how she started creating the Flor de Mayo Spirit Doll for her aunt who is very  significant and known throughout the world as a teacher and healer and is one of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.  Her aunt is also the founder of The Path, an organization dedicated to the conservation and preservation of heirloom and heritage seeds.To learn more about Ileana and the wonderful dolls she creates, please visithttp://ileana-hernandezcarafas.squarespace.com/Follow and like In The Doll World on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inthedollworldInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/inthedollworld/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/inthedollworldLinktree: https://www.linktr.ee/inthedollworld

I know I said the audio quality wasn't the best on this episode, but the original upload was actually unreasonably terrible - worse than I knew due to an uploading technical glitch. However, it's fixed now! Good learning for me for the future. On to this episode....Harlan Whitman is a jack of all trades and master of many. He is the founder of OOAK (One Of A Kind) Forge, which makes knives, slingshots, pizza slayers (Say whaaaat? You just have to see them - they're awesome), and is a venue where he dreams up new beautiful, functional and durable products built to last. Harlan's work outside of OOAK Forge has spanned media such as building and making furniture, instruments, jewelry, gravity bikes, large scale sculptures, swords, and he has helped create props, puppets and animatronics for massive events such as the Olympics, the Super Bowl, and for well known performing artists on stage. I sat down with Harlan to talk about what experiences have formed the way he approaches his art and his life as an artist. He shares about the differences between creating art for art’s sake and creating art to make a living, as well as what qualities young artists may want to focus on while moving forward with their careers in the current landscape of social media marketing and constant judgment from the haters and trolls.

Today my guest is Rachel Van Kluyve. Whether you're decorating your first house, looking for an affordable refresh for one room, or planning an entirely new concept as part of a renovation, one question provides the adequate jump start for any project. Where do I begin? It can be a challenge to know where to start in each scenario to make the various rooms in a home truly work—and work together—to fulfill one's needs. Thankfully, popular blogger and designer Rachel Van Kluyve gets to the heart of how to create intention in any room in She Made Herself a Home: A Practical Guide to Design, Organize, and Give Purpose to Your Space.  Especially during this time when we're all at home, I had fun discussing things I could do around my house to make things more functional and beautiful. Maybe this will give you some new ideas too to really love where you live!

Ooak is constantly innovating a new category of toothbrushes and flossers. They have created (with the help of dental hygienists) a toothbrush with V-Shape tapered bristles to conform to the shape of your teeth which allows the outer bristles to stimulate the gumline. They want to prevent a generation of people with really white, straight teeth that fall out of their mouths because they don't take care of their gums. I especially love their flosser. It's like a Swiss Army Knife of flossers! Their products are amazing and I'd love for you to check them out on Amazon. And... Built Bar is the best tasting and fastest growing protein bar on the market. With their wide range of flavors and delicious consistency, this is the perfect option for families wondering what to add to their quarantine food stock up. Built Bar is offering my listeners 20% off your first purchase by going to www.builtbar.com and enter Promo Code: EEP at Checkout. And... Kosmatology is a kids skincare line, made with kids with sensitive skin in mind. Their lotion bar, made without all the icky preservatives, is a fantastic alternative to messy lotions, and it was truly a game changer for the founder's child with eczema. I also love their hand soap. Get 15% your first order by going to www.kosmatology.com and use code: EEP at checkout.

In this special on location episode, Emily and Michelle record in the lobby of the Holiday Inn in downtown Chicago before checking out the One of a Kind Show at the Merchandise Mart.  They mostly talk about OrangeBeautiful's event, Show of Hands Chicago (and why's it's better than all other events!), before doing some quick interviews on the OoaK showroom floor.  Interviews include Danielle from Soap Distillery, Joshua and Kelsey from Green Beetle Shop and (of course) Mark and Stephen from Edgewater Candles.
