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.
