Karen Vander Logt

 

One of a kind Santa's and Artdolls

"Seen with the Heart"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome . . .

 

 

 

Karen Vander Logt started sculpting Santa's and Art dolls in 1999. 

She is  self taught  and lives in Wisconsin with her husband and their three sons. 

        She hand-sculpts each of her "One-of-a-kind" dolls using prosculpt polymer clay, glass eyes, angora mohair for her Santa's and high quality human hair wigs for her dolls, along with her own handmade armature inside of a cloth body.  Karen designs and sews all their clothing herself using new or vintage fabrics and all of her dolls are signed and dated.  She also has recently added personalized handmade Christmas stockings to her site.

         Karen's goal in creating artdolls is that they not only be seen with the eye of the viewer, but also seen with the heart.

         Karen's dolls, along with her sister Mary's, have been featured in the 2004 Better Homes and Gardens Santa Collections book vol 6.   Doll photos have also been in Doll Reader, Dolls magazine and Contemporary Doll  Collector.                                                 

Karen has exhibited her dolls at the Hellman Gallery for the International Doll Art show-Chicago, Illinois and has recently added IDEX Las Vegas to her show listings.  She has shipped dolls all  over the United States  and Internationally, including Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, Australia, United Kingdom and Greece.  Dolls sell primarily from her website, shows and e-bay;  she is gaining a long list of collectors.   

 

                                                                     

                                                                                                                                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                             

 

We must play the song we came on earth to play

                                 we must not die with our music still in us.
