My name is Maurine Adrezin.  I live in Las Vegas, Nevada with my husband, Allen.  We have three married children and six grandchildren.
    Since I was very young, I have enjoyed the fiberarts:  weaving, macramé, sewing, embroidery, crewel, machine knitting and quilting.
    I made my first cloth doll and mohair teddy bear while living in Melbourne, Australia.  When I returned to America I continued making cloth dolls and teddy bears.  I took numerous on-line classes and attended workshops to learn different techniques and have won many blue ribbons for my dolls.  I also developed a love of both needle and wet felting.  I now design my own dolls and weave the fabric for their clothes.
    I have been awarded the honor of being selected as a Juried member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen.  I belong to the "Las Vegas Silver Doll-er Doll Club", the "Southern Nevada Weavers and Spinner's Guild, Inc" also called the "Las Vegas Fiber Arts Guild", "Frances Irwin Handweavers" and the "Complex Weavers".  I have been published in "Soft Dolls and Animals", "500 Handmade Dolls". "Art Doll Quarterly", "Doll Crafter and Costuming" and "Handwoven Magazine" as well as several newpapers.
    I am the Program Coordinator for the "Las Vegas Fiber Arts Guild", the "Las Vegas Silver Doll-ers" and the "Queen Mom of the Red Hat Hooters".
