Fiebing reports that fabric-sculpture doll faces such as these two works in progress are harder to do than polymer clay faces.
Flebing made her first doll when she was eight, with the help of her dad. When she grew up, she became a computer engineer until she gave it up to stay home with her children. She began making dolls again at that time. The hobby evolved over time into a full time business.
This doll can be seen on Fiebing's holiday tree.
We all know the real Santa would never indulge in such shameful behavior! This doll also adorns Fiebing's tree.
