Artist Profile   Name: Chandra Cerchione-Peltier Age: 99 Gender: f Sign-up Date: 2004-06-10 Country: USA Contact Info: Email the Artist Homepage: ChandrasBoxofStars Experience: 0 year(s) Influences: Pre-Raphaelites, Arthur Rackham, The Frouds, Akira Blount, Nancy Wiley, and others. Style: For me, part of the excitement surrounding dollmaking is the opportunity it offers to explore modern and traditional techniques and materials. For instance, I often employ a modern technique known as free-motion embroidery, in which I manipulate fabric beneath a moving sewing machine needle to literally draw with thread. However, I am equally comfortable with the eighteenth century process of dipping sculpted pieces in beeswax, or the sixteenth century raised embroidery technique known as stumpwork. This combination of the old and the new keeps me invigorated, and affords me fresh perspectives when approaching traditional forms.
