KEVIN KILMER

I am more or less professionally known by an anagram of my initials, CLICKDESIGNSbyKEVIN. I have been making and designing OOak dolls and clothing for over a decade now. My primary focus these days is on making OOAK evening gowns and daywear for 1/6 scale dolls.

I have been involved in the doll arena for MANY
years of my life, from an early age - like 5 years old. My folks who have both passed now instilled the love for dolls and toys in me. They owned and operated an antique reproduction and doll repair business for many years; making and restoring many of the prominent French and German antique bisque porcelain dolls. My Dad is actually the one who taught me how to sew, but, unfortunately, he didn’t live to see my somewhat small degree of success I have had in my chosen arena on 1/6 scale work.

I've had the distinct honor of being one of the many talented artists to be featured in one of Jim Faraone's Learn from the Artists series of books, which was a great honor for me. I have collaberated with some great doll artists thru the years. One I am particularly proud of was my collaberative work with Juan Albuerne from Spain. Juan and I collaberated on several versions of Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, andPeggy Lee to name a few.

My OOAK Natalia has a stunning white dupioni silk gown that is fully lined in silk, and the gorgeous part is the thousands of star shaped sequins and beads that make up the design of the dress. Natalia truly shines brightly. And, I thank Jim for giving me the honor again of being one of the chosen artists to make a OOAK Natalia for IFDC 2010. Thanks for looking! Just email Kevin if you're interested in talking with him more about his doll work.

AVIS JONES

Avis feels her life has come full circle. As a child she loved designing and sewing for her mannequin doll. Today she lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband of 55 years, and is designing and sewing again!

She was a stay at home Mom for her four children; she dealt with PTA, Cub/Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc. As her children grew into young adults she became a career woman. She had always been the frustrated artist, and utilized this talent by becoming a portrait photographer. She even owned and operated her own photography company for over 20 years.

In her retirement she has returned to her love of dolls and design. She has fulfilled her dream of designing for leading fashion models by producing a clothing line, THE HOUSE OF "A", for the leading fashion dolls - Barbie and Fashion Royalty! For further information contact Avis directly through her email.
