I went to “christmas made in the south” today with my mother. we were both extremely underwhelmed by what was there however there was one booth that artist Allie Ryan had… she made these awesome little dolls. you can tell she had so much fun making them. she uses recycled fabrics, quilts, clothing etc and natural dye techniques with a bit of paint to get this interesting finish. she sold all of her things for hardly any money. she is this CUTE older (I wont dare say that she could be my grandmother) woman wearing a long vintage looking dress with some sneakers (the type you might see on a young skateboarder) I asked if she had a website, blog email or anything like that and she sort of laughed at me and wrote down her telephone number and home address. I loved her! I dont think that I could ever feel comfortable giving a stranger that information. I am so intrigued by her. heres a photo of a couple things I picked up. if you love them too I can pass along her number to you.
hello! long story short, i do dog rescue and was looking for a particular shirt i saw in a boutique in key west. i happened upon your site and LOVE what you’re doing with old photos. The recycled critters made by Allie Ryan really struck me, and i tried to google her with no luck. would you please pass along her info? those are precious! (you have the cutest frenchie and boston, by the way. we have 3 rescue pugs and a lab mix–waiting to get a boston foster soon…) thanks!
