My ANZ Dollmakers Plus Links

Australia has many very talented dollmakers and just across the creek from us are the New Zealanders.

I've now expanded this list to include dollmakers and suppliers, doll clubs, museums and mailing lists, dollhouses, bears, also fabric and miscellaneous artist sites.

THESE ARE ALL AUSTRALIAN and NEW ZEALAND SITES

UPDATED OCT. 2006 - Please note I've just checked all these links and removed any that are not working, but have left the names so you can google them -it's taken me several hours to check and update this page and I just don't have time any more to do this so I will not be adding any more links here - however if your name is already here and you have a new link please let me know and I will update
