It's been a while since I updated this journal, as I decided to wait until I had Sarah Jane Fisher's archive folder in my possession, before embarking on emails to organisations and such like.
It was worth waiting; her archive contains some stunning photographs of some of her dolls. They have been professionally photographed and printed so the quality is superb.
I felt very emotional looking at these beautiful dolls that my mother created and hope, so hope, that they still exist in the world. What a tragedy it would be if they'd not been looked after then eventually thrown out as rubbish by a relative of the original owner.
Someone has recently reflected on how much soul these dolls express; so true.
Also, in the archive, there are many letters of thanks and enquiries and compliments, most are from either America or Australia.
I shall upload some more photographs soon, with extracts from some of the letters....
