I have always been fashion doll crazy (never cared for baby dolls at all), and, as far as I can tell, always will be.

I have a LJ blog and Etsy shop, also under the name dollsahoy, and I'm known in other venues as an42. I will, someday, get to work on my website. I live in the greater Nashville area, married to a man who I'm slowly getting interested in customizing action figures, as he is reciprocally getting me interested in miniatures gaming...

    "Andrea has been a major influence on my own collecting for almost as long as the internet has influenced me. She manages to look at any doll part, fabric, material, painting technique no matter how different or outrageous and transform them into something quirky, cohesive and amazing.
    She is a wonderful friend, quirky, interesting and amazing. She has such a wide reaching influence on a lot of the 1/6th community for the almost radical idea that collecting *different* varieties of dolls and action figures is a good way to enjoy collecting.
    I've enjoyed her work for almost 7 years now and I hope that she continues to craft for many more years."

    "dolls ahoy was one of the first streams i have visited, before i had an account or was in any way active on flickr. andrea is a fixed point on flickr and the doll community, she is an institution. she takes experimenting on dolls and toys to a new level. she is not afraid of trying new things out and just follows her heart with such vison and skill, that she can't fail! for her doll customizing is serious technical business and FUN! besides she is a really lovely and generous person! andrea is not a flickr friend for me, she is a friend period!"

    "I believe in Dolls Ahoy.

    She's a toy crafting dynamo.
    Sewing, painting, and all sorts of skills I wish I was as accomplished at.

    In this wild world of so many customizing heroes ....I rest better at night knowing Dolls Ahoy is out there creating new fresh ideas for us to ponder.

    Marvel at all that is Dolls Ahoy.
    You'll be better for it!"
