Hi!  My name is Cathy Spangler & I am the owner & Artist of Land of OZ Dolls.
  
    As my business name implies, I live in Kansas-The Land of OZ.   My husband Calvin & Duncan  my son, & I live in Abilene, Kansas.  For those of you who know  American History,  Abilene was a Famous Cowboy Town in the 1800's.  Wild Bill Wickcock was the Law here.  It was a Wild West Town, full of Cowboy's, Horses, & Saloons.  But now it a Sleepy Little Town, as they use to say "The Street Roll Up At 9:00."   We don't even have a place to go see a movie.

I remember as a small child watching ~The Wizard of OZ~, Our whole family went to my Uncle's to watch it on they color TV.  We sat there mesmerized, as Dorothy & Toto, went to see the Wizard.   It was a Place Where Dreams Come True.  And that is why I chose to name my business after the wonderful movie.
  
  I worked as a Florist for 20 years when I was Lay Off, I had to find a new way to bring in money.  There aren't many jobs here in Abilene.  Because of my Love for Dolls, I decided to use my crafting talents to make OOAK Doll.  I started making repainted dolls with costumes like you saw in my Repaint Gallery.    But I wanted to make a Mermaid, I have a thing about cutting the legs off a doll.  So I decided to make the whole doll.  I looked many time at all the Beautiful OOAK polymer clay dolls for sale on e-Bay & decided to try teaching my self to sculpt.  I bought a Patricia Rose VHS tape, & now I hooked.
  
     I found a Wonderful site ooakdollart.com & learned a lot from the Artist who belong to the site.  It is a site created & run by OOAK Doll Artist. They have a auction site, & a forum to share their dolls, share sculpting tips, & just talk about the thing we all Love most Making OOAK Dolls..  I was able to have this web site because of this site also.
  
     My Dream is to become know for my OOAK Doll & Creativity, like the Artist who inspired me.  And I will use my God Given Talent to make Beautiful Fantasy Creations.  Making My Dream &  Everyone who see , or purchase one of my dolls, Dreams Come True.
  
  Thank You for your interest in My Fantasy World & My Dolls.  Be sure to look for my Doll e-Bay & here.  To see my Newest Creations.
