Doll
Artist Profile – Charla Khanna
by Rice Freeman Zachery
“By the time I was 7 years old, I knew I was going to be an artist,”
says Charla Khanna, an extraordinary doll artist residing in New Mexico.
“Some people are born with clever fingers, but they could do something
else. I had no choice. I really am driven to make things.”

Story!
The Enchanted Pond Priestess
Several talented artists come together to make a beautiful statement
with polymer clay and cloth: The Enchanted Pond Priestess (yes, she’s
a frog!). “For inspiration,” says sculptor Rosie Rojas, “I
used an old book of fairy tales I’ve had since childhood …
I came upon a Russian fairy tale entitled ‘The Frog Princess.’
I had found my model!”

Wish
Upon a Star: Fairy Wands
If you’re looking for a little magic in your life, Diana Twedt’s
Fairy Wands should do the trick. Create a bit of “artistic magic”
yourself with Foamcore board, dowels, scraps of paper, and a dash of
serendipity.

TAODA’s
Storybook Doll Exhibit
The Texas Association of Original Doll Artists (TAODA) shares dolls
from the Storybook Doll Exhibit, in which each participating artist
made a figure to replicate in three dimensions the images of characters
found in popular children’s literature. We are in awe of the talented
artists who submitted their dolls to us.

Junkyard
Fairies
The “Visual Sound” group gathers around an art-doll project
with member Dottie Jazemski as instructor. Her advice? “Trust me.
They will become what they want to be and they will also name themselves
and give you their stories.”

An
Art for the Soul Doll
“Most of the women in my life, who have all been very precious
to me,” says artist Jackie Hull, “have a very sweet soul,
inside and out. This doll is a tribute to my mother and to all women
everywhere who strive to be a blessing to those they love, in all the
roles they play.”
