Welcome to my Buttons & Butterflies site!

My public face-up commissions are currently CLOSED.
Basic commission information is available to read in my main Menu. I often take long breaks from posting open public slots in order to accomplish other things, especially during the gardening seasons.
An FYI for members ... my site host sometimes has glitches in sending out member notifications. As a result, I might not be able to notify members ahead of time when new slots will available.
Check this Home page and Menu periodically to see if I have updated any commission news.

I am very SLOWLY attempting to work on editing and cleaning up my entire website. Many of the original pages have glitches in them due to a company transfer to VistaPrint/Wix awhile back. The switch to a new editing process has added a lot of confusion to this process, so my apologies in advance for all of the missing photos on numerous pages. As of June 2026, I'm trying to adapt a simple schedule for working through these pages, with hopes of my site being fully restored by the end of this year. Gardening still consumes most of my time in the seasonal months.
My Etsy shop continues to stay current, but nothing new has been added for many years. I do have eventual hopes to sell more items from there. I have no intention of selling doll related items from eBay anymore, so between Etsy and The Resin Cafe forum (or personal contacts and acquaintances), business endeavors will take place in those limited venues.
My "Contact Me" button below has my new email if you wish to contact me privately.

While visiting my site, please feel free to browse through former gallery photos of previous work. In the "Ellowyne" menu category above you will find most of my elaborate sewing creations, along with my original poetry. Many of the vinyl fashion dolls represented were painted by my daughter Wendy during the years we collaborated together.
​
If you would like to view the artistry of my own advanced face-ups (painting with watercolor pencils and dry pastel chalk) on BJD's, there are two Gallery pages in chronological order under the "Face-ups" tab of my Menu bar above. I have recently begun to experiment on vinyl dolls also, but there are no posted photos yet.

Thank you for stopping by and your interest in my work ... hope you have a great day!
