In August 2007, this "tattooed" biker was awarded First Place in the Professional 3-D Category at the Brazosport Art League’s Open Juried Fall Show. Then, in October 2007, he was awarded a Blue Ribbon and also received an "Outstanding" rosette ribbon and trophy in the Adult Fine Arts Exhibition at the Brazoria County Fair.

"Millie" was awarded a Blue Ribbon in the Adult Fine Arts Exhibition at the 2006 Brazoria County Fair. My inspiration for this doll was Mildred Douglas Chrisman who, in the early 20th century, won the World Champion Girl Bronc Rider title twice and also acted in silent movies with Tom Mix. The 17" one-of-a-kind doll wears fringed suede leather culottes and vest, blue cotton shirt and leather boots with spurs. Her hair is mohair and she carries a white hat in her hand as she waves to the admiring crowd. Mildred was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1988.

This ample, 16" one-of-a-kind doll was awarded 3rd Place in the 2006 Hoffman Fabric Challenge. This was a special thrill for me as it is the first time that my entry has received an award in the more than 10 years that I have entered. She wears a swim dress of the Challenge fabric, a coordinating robe, flowered swim hat and flip-flops. In her vinyl beach bag are a bottle of Perrier®, a towel, sun block, a portable CD player and several of her favorite CD’s. She carries a ring float on her other arm.
