Restoration - what it means to me

To me, restoration means bringing the doll back to its original looking condition, down to the last eyelash. I do not take artistic license with any of my dolls. Also, I believe that honesty is the best policy when selling a restored doll. My goal is for the repair to be invisible and undetectable. But in all fairness to the buyer, repairs must be disclosed, whether they can be detected or not. It's all about ethics.

I restore mainly composition dolls, but love working with rubber dolls like Amosandras, Tiny Tears, Dy-dees, So Wees. My all time favorite restoration is celluloid.
