About the Artist!
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my site! My name is Tasha Edenholm and I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and my "babies" to you. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, near Seattle WA. I am married and have two beautiful children, a son and a daughter. My love for dolls started at a very early age. I became inspired by my European grandmother's doll collection. She had and still has dolls throughout her entire house. I started out collecting dolls but eventually that just wasn't enough. I always wanted to create my own. My passion was always for infants. When I came across the art of "reborn" dolls I was so thrilled, they were the most realistic looking baby dolls I had ever seen. I started making reborn dolls and did so for about 4 years. I do still occassionally make them from time to time or upon special request.
My greatest love has been sculpting! I began sculpting my own dolls from polymer clay back in February 2005 and absolutely love it! My sculpts are handmade and are One-Of-A-Kinds, absolutely no two are alike! My babies have been sold worldwide and have created many happy new mommies! My very first two sculpts I made were purchased by Ashton Drake Galleries. I won first place in 2006 at Jack Johnston's Eighth Annual Prosculpt Scholarship Award Contest for baby Jessica, and this year I won 3rd place for baby Joey...who eventually was reproduced into a vinyl reborn kit.
I am always striving to learn and develop new techniques to make each and every baby as realistic and unique as possible. Thank you for showing interest in my babies and I am always happy to answer any questions.
