Hi, my name is Loanne Ostlie. I live in Los Angeles, California and I love to create fantasy dolls and try to use many different types of medium for hair. My favorite dolls to use are Barbies with the Steffie and the Asian face mold. My favorite colors to work with are gold and silver - anything glittery. I got started customizing when I saw Renee Coughlan's work in a magazine; that really got me interested. I think rooting eyelashes is by far the best part of customizing for me. I wish I knew how to paint eyebrows though...that is my weakness. In addition to customizing I adore Kelly and her little friends, plus I love to collect Mattel's rare or hard to find fashion dolls.
