| I'm writing you to thank you for one of the most beautiful and truly special gifts I have ever received. When my father pulled a rather large gift-wrapped box from under the tree yesterday morning and handed it to me, I was suddenly a child again, excited by the fact that I was getting a "big gift." (Very mature.) I never imagined, however, exactly how great a gift that box actually contained. Queen Tiye is stunning. I just keep looking at her. I'm so touched that my father would give me something of such value and with such symbolic importance. He shared Queen Tiye's history with me, as told to him by you. As a historian and as a black woman, I could not have asked for anything more. We have all just spent the day admiring your vision, your care, and your craftmanship. As I told my father, I feel like I finally have an heirloom, something to pass down to my children and their children, and so on and so on. But for now, I'm pleased to have her with me. Thank you for making my Christmas that much more dear. I just wanted to tell you that and to let you know that your amazing creation has a loving and appreciative home. She is loved and she will be well cared for. December, 2005 |

| Charlotte Johnson Doll Artist, Lampwork Artist, Jewelry Maker HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE I hope you will enjoy your visit and hope you'll stay awhile to browse my creations. It is my goal to develop a user-friendly website that will give you a tour of the type of artistic creations I enjoy and love to share with others. I have been making dolls for over thirty-four years and have enjoyed sharing and creating dolls for people from coast to coast and internationally. I started my doll creating journey by making rag dolls and now I create one-of-a-kind artistic dolls. My creativity has expanded to working with glass. I took a lampworking class with a couple of my friends over two years ago and fell immediately in love with the art of flameworking and melting glass to create beads. My glass has found homes in the US and Internationally, and I am still learning as I develop a style of my own. I also maintain a doll shop and glass shop on ETSY, follow the two links above to see my shops. I also take custom orders for dolls, fairy wings, glass beads, just e-mail me your thoughts. Your comments about my creations and my website are welcomed, so please feel free to leave your feedback and comments in my GUESTBOOK MESSAGE LEFT BY A RECIPIENT OF ONE OF MY DOLLS: |
