Gabi lives in monterrey, mexico where she created her stunning 100 dolls series which is her final thesis for her major in art. I discovered Gabi on Flickr CarftGossip.com Crafty Reviews. I instantly fell in love with all her fascinating dolls and all her art. We became friends on Facebook and she is a charming young lady. The expressions on her dolls faces are captivating. Gabi creates her doll’s faces from polymer clay and all the clothing is created from recycled fabrics and odds and ends of vintage jewelry. She not only makes her dolls but does amazing paintings and drawings, t-shirts, photography and creates fabulous purses out of old vinyl records. She has a clothes brand, mostly t-shirts and handmade toys she calls them Botargas and the brands name is Sintantosmodales. Let’s all welcome Gab art to the US and go to Flickr and leave some comments or join her on Facebook. She also has a MySpace blog if you would like to visit and see her art.
