Show & tell, show & sell.

Threadpainting in the Garage!

When my nephew Kial was about two years old, hard as he tried he could not call me Auntie Merle like the others. An emotional and frustrating thing for him he named me “AMO”, which delightfully sticks with me today as ever so nice, as of course it is Latin, meaning, I love you!

Amo’s Art began in 1997 with my first piece. By that time for some years however, I was doing a lot of other arts and crafts displaying them in the window of my travel agency, and I had become known via the Caymanian Compass of the time as “The Doll Lady of Cayman”. My gorgeous handmade rag dolls, in particular, though much more sophisticated than ever so loveable rag dolls, had become famous! They were done in very personalized manner becoming heirlooms for new born girls, and for other special occasions; and good demand as home décor! I am proud that today, many of my clients still praise me for those creations which after more than 20 years they still have and love. Yes, I still do the dolls occasionally at a cost of about CI$150.00, and Fat Dolly may be making a comeback soon.
