1. My name is Susan Tamcsin.
I'm the creative director for my husband's beeswax candle company Big
Dipper Wax Works. I am a mother of two lovely girls, Hannah 10 yrs and
Sally 6 yrs. I live with my family in Normandy Park, just south of
Seattle. I'm originally from Milwaukee, WI.
2. I make hand-painted eye chips, dresses, and I customize dolls and make all their accessories.
3. I sell my eye chips and dresses on my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/photos4sue.
I auction my custom Blythe dolls usually on Ebay. To join my newsletter

I am inspired by the many amazingly talented artists and customizers in
our community. I am also influenced by fabric designs and my love of
printmaking. My new dresses will all have hand-printed elements, drawing
from my earlier years as a printmaking student in art school and my
ever-evolving love for that art.

I first found Blythe back in 2008, when a friend of mine had one taken
apart on her kitchen counter. I was immediately intrigued. My friend
taught me the basics of customizing, I was hooked. I continued
experimenting and my love for Blythe has grown and evolved ever since.

Before Blythe, I never really collected anything, not even dolls. Since
then I have been very slowly collecting dolls of different kinds. Aside
from my Blythe collection of about 12 Blythes, I have a few BJD's, some
vintage dolls and some hand-crafted dolls. I guess I collect fabric and
art supplies too!

When my brother died of cancer 3 years ago, I fell out of love with
everything. I put my dolls aside for a long while and never thought I'd
go back. Eventually I came around and opened myself back up to them. To
this day, as much as I love Blythe and customizing them, I teeter on
the edge of getting rid of everything. I wonder if that feeling will
ever go away.
