This is Addison. She likes to tell stories, but she tells them very quietly, so only you can hear. She dreams about the woods a lot, and she might want you to take her for a nice long walk. When she gets hungry, will you make her some cheese and crackers? She likes grape juice, too. -------------------- Addison is made from Steiff-Schulte mohair, from a small mill in Germany.

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.
I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.
My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
