Paula Wagner
Paula Wagner has been making dolls and Victorian decorations for the past 6 years. She fell in love with dolls after seeing a beautiful Victorian doll in a Paris window display. When she was 7 years Paula was a photographer's model and bought her first doll ( a bride) with earrings.
Over the years, Paula has taken many doll making classes, she has sold numerous dolls at doll and craft shows and continues to discover new ideas in doll making and costuming.
Paula loves hats, she loves to make fairies, and loves the Victorian Era with its beauty, romance and mix of silk, crystal, pearls and beads. Clients find her dolls beautiful to admire, ornate with gorgeous costuming. Every detail has been addressed from Swarovski Crystal to imported silk and pearls. Her favorite dolls are "Stephanie" and the "Fairy, Jewell."
Paula says, "Dolls have a personality, they have soul. They are my friends."
