I am a big fan of Jess Quinn.
 |
| This is the first image I ever saw of Jess Quinn's. She didn't have a big internet presence at the time, but now she posts her work regularly and I am never let down. |
Jess has a degree in painting. She makes her living off of her dolls and also does model making for a stop frame animation studio in Bristol. She never seems to have a shortage of ideas, and she makes many, many beautiful things, each surprising. It's as if she has an entire alternate universe stored away in her head! I just think she is incredible.
 |
| She makes many types of dolls, some textile, some wood, some clay. |
 |
| An elephant looking surprised, maybe because he woke up wearing a sweater. |
 |
| A studio shot. So colorful. |

She uses which ever medium seems right for a particular character, Here is a quote of hers from her Etsy biography:
Everything is made by myself and I
love each process and material to be openly expressed, each stitch or
paint stroke is visible a trace of my working hand. I love colour and
have collected a fair amount of vintage fabric over the years, these are
added into a lot of my work, a hint of nostalgia added to something
new.
 |
| She is fearless with her materials. |
 |
| Thank you Jess for what you bring into the world! |
