4. What are your main influences?

My main influences are.. hm, that's difficult.  I am greatly influenced by what I read, what I watch, and what I listen to.  Helpful, right?  All those things vary, I'm really eclectic in my tastes, but I'd say that the realm of fairytales is probably the top influence on what I create.

5. How did you get started with Blythe dolls?

I first was introduced to Blythe on Instagram actually, something like two years ago.  I was wandering around looking at pictures and found someone with pictures of Blythe.  At first she struck me as utterly bizarre, but I couldn't stop coming back to look at her!  A month or so later I bought my first Blythe, Stella, my Very Vicky.  My husband calls her my mini me.

6. Do you collect anything else?

I collect Mab Graves cards, which I frame and put on the wall, and her prints when I can get them.  Someday I'd love to own one of her paintings! She's one of the most amazing people I've ever "met" online and I think she's just wonderful and it shows in her art :)

7. What's one interesting fact we may not know about you?

Um... I have a degree in English with a Medieval minor (only three credits away from a double major, darnit!) and took an entire year of Old English.  (And loved every minute :) ).
