In Sandra’s own words: "No two dolls I create can ever be reproduced exactly the same, making each one a truly one-of-a-kind collectible or award-winning piece. Each doll is unique; some may have a cloth body, composition body, or even a leather body, and their eyes might be made of French paperweight glass or German glass. The eyes are truly the soul of the doll, often guiding the choice of hair color and style. I only use the finest materials to ensure each doll is a work of art that will be cherished for generations.
