About Me
Hello and welcome to my new website. My name
is Natalie Hamade, I am an artist who has dabbled in every medium from fabric to frosting.
My interest in cloth
dolls began in the summer of 2000, when I attended a fine art show. Several of the booths were exhibiting
fantastic dolls all made from fabric and I was totally smitten. When I arrived back home I immediately started
practicing some painting on fabric. Years later, after much
dedication, experimentation, trial and error I am where I am today-A Doll Artist/Designer.
It
has been an honor for me to have had my dolls win and/or place in international doll shows, magazine and online
challenges.
My work has
been displayed and sold at fine art shows, gift shops, ebay and exhibited in galleries.
