| Betsy Shaw is a retired interior designer. After twenty-eight years of passion for textiles in her own Texas design firm, Betsy now expresses design in the form of unique "Female Spirit Dolls." Each original piece is a 3-dimensional collage interpreted through natural elements, textiles and treasures. The collection of antique objects come from all over the world in the form of baubles and beads, embroidered pieces, gems and minerals, antlers, bones, small hand-made alabaster masks from Mexico, carved masks from Africa, and the ever popular turtle shells. Each Female Spirit will express its own personality to the collector. Please enjoy and share Betsy's passion for these creations.

Ray spent a career as a high shcool music teacher while maintaining a creative interest in working with wood. Creating the masks came from a fascination with Native American figures as well as rock art throughout New Mexico. The masks are made of natural aspen tree trunks and are stylized to depict the Native American culture. The use of natural materials, such as antlers and horse hair, complete the very colorful pieces. Recently Ray became interested in clay and began utilizing ceramics to create new stylized subjects like the horses. All pieces are one-of-a-kind and Ray will accept custom commissioned requests.
