Current Projects...

Along with working on my Halloween doll, I have been working on this sweetie that is my first official attempt at mimicking the beautiful art work that has had me captivated since early childhood.

All of my toddler/baby dolls have actually been inspired by this man's artwork and I have done many features after it, but have yet to really try to get the face down pat. His name is Teddy Williams and he illustrated my favorite and most beloved childhood book that was given to me in 1979 by my parents.

I plan on doing an Uht Ohs! Children's Books line so hopefully I can somewhat master the "Teddy Williams" look.

What ya think for my first attempt? Any suggestions are welcome!!!

I am your new #1 fan! She is adorable! I don't know who "Teddy Williams" is, but I bet you nailed it! I am hoping to bring out the features in my dolls faces more. Practice, practice, I guess. :) Good job!

Yay! A tea party with friends! Let's sit down, sip, and share!

A Tid Bit About Ree

Pull up a cozy chair, have a friendly cup of tea with me, and let me tell you a tid bit about Ree!

I was born 1973 in Philadelphia, PA., to two incredible parents whom blessed me with the most beautiful childhood a little girl could hope for. My father was a lifer in the Navy and just about the most amazing man you could ever meet. My mother is just as amazing and one of the most caring moms I could ask for. My Dad was such a creative man which is where I believe I inherited my artistic gift from and my Mom never passed up the chance to play dolls with me when I was a little girl which is where I believe my strong love for dolls comes from. Put those two together and here I am as Tipsy Teacup Creations.

As stated above, I truly do believe my heritage contributed a great bit to my creative skills and love of dolls, but I have to tell you a secret. I came across doll making accidentally. Yes, can you believe it, I said accidentally. Let me tell you the story, after my darling Siamese cat Mable decided to attack one of my childhood handmade dolls I frantically decided I had to figure out a way to fix her. I started to thoroughly look at her and examine how she was made. I had it in my head that I would not stop until she was back to her original glory and, you know what, I did it. I had her back to her precious self in no time. Needless to say, after that magical repair I was hooked on soft sculpture and the art of doll making. I have extensively studied the soft sculpture art form and have self taught myself since that fateful day in 2004. I even managed to make friends with a sewing machine or two. Over this past year I have taken several online doll classes which have been amazing. I will never stop learning or trying to improve my skills no matter how many years go by.

While I do so love all kinds of art and dolls the art of soft sculpture has quickly become my artistic outlet and sole creative passion. I am thrilled to be able to relive my childhood, as well and my little boy's childhoods, and share my works with you! You will notice that I have a huge range of interests which, without a doubt, shine through via my creations.
