Olivia is nothing if not a multi-tasker...
 
 
 
I am Liv.

I became a fantasy doll sculptor suddenly and without warning. It was all thanks to my best friend who saw an elf doll in a shop and wanted it. I told her not to buy it because I could make it myself, which I did. Then I made some more. Then I got creative.

I have a more complete website gallery that will be online soon. I sell all my work, and am currently based out of Melbourne, Australia. Several of my pieces are available in Vancouver, Cananda. Or at least, they were the last time I was there.

If you would like to ask questions, haggle prices or just chat about my work, you are very welcome to email me at arboralis@yahoo.com.au .

I absolutely take requests, do characters, portraits, and pretty much anything, and my work is very resonably priced. In extreme cases I also do trades, but you would have to bait me with something I really need or want.

Ohwwww.. why did it take you so long to get an Elfwood gallery? I just got the impression that you've been around for a while.. hrr, I've no idea. ANYWAY! Amazing work! You have the true fantasy heart and your creativity is punchingly obvious. I hope to see updates, but for now this is great. And I always wanted to comment on the Elftown pic, and I found it!!! I think it's marvelous!
I wish you all the best, and keep it all up. ^^
