I’m Kerrie Lee. Artist. Maker. Educator. I'm a mixed media sculptor specializing in whimsical figurines, dolls, puppets, and props. Through the use of videos, livestreams, online courses, and here on my blog, I demonstrate my creation process and share the materials and special techniques I've developed in over 30 years of making art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601473101070-MQ0N37UCS575GFFWBE9L/3951A096-2652-4C17-9D8C-6FC9C6F19474_1_201_a.jpeg About - Dreamer. Dabbler. Noodler. Jill of all trades is a good way to describe me. I’m a dabbler. I like to try new things. The Greek term for this is polymath, but I prefer the sound of dabbler. During my senior year in high school, I opted to drop my calculus class to take a sewing class. It was one of the smartest decisions I ever made, though I didn’t realize its significance until many years later. I am a movie maker’s dream. I laugh at all the jokes and bawl like a baby right on cue. I have a very vivid imagination. I get drawn into movies (which is why I avoid the scary ones!) I am a lucid dreamer. Since relocating from rural Michigan to the suburbs of Des Moines in 2011, I’ve become a bit of a foodie. I blame my husband’s fantastic cooking skills, and all the wonderful restaurants here. I like root beer floats, warm socks, Sunday afternoon naps, and puns. https://www.dreamupart.com/patterns daily 0.75 2020-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1604440155864-8B7O1FLTHVBN6J16B7Y8/Wolf+Puppet+Leg+Pattern+%7C+Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Free Downloads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1604440129133-SCH54CVZEBJ9GXTKSE1J/Wolf+Puppet+Leg+Pattern+%7C+Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Free Downloads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1602101924386-22IFP60R300IS5KC6WAN/Key+Fob+Pattern+%7C+Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Free Downloads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1602101889023-3ZCZQ5KQ4LQPDLSLOJ8V/WW+Cosplay+Skirt+Pattern+%7C+Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Free Downloads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1602101947377-1AV3DMFO421B0CIIB24B/Mini+Book+Charm+Pattern+%7C+Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Free Downloads https://www.dreamupart.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1602104056967-XGUFWM6PZYUUD64149FY/Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Contact https://www.dreamupart.com/copyright daily 0.75 2025-02-06 https://www.dreamupart.com/home daily 1.0 2020-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1603914307261-LWRE2RNX7SCVGRD7QL9C/wolf-puppet-down.JPG Home Wolf Puppet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482404144-3K723Y33SIJMEGTLR1FX/kerry+puppet.jpg Home Hand Puppet: Kerry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482399043-8VZZDUJZ0IAAP89WVMNQ/john-puppet.jpeg Home Hand Puppet: John https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482404573-PDEA31GO4GDVFGF1BMJB/steampunkelephant.JPG Home Steampunk Elephant: Mixed Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601492658073-GYL0Z4MYD2SPX7TIGXBA/minions.JPG Home Minions: Bubble Wrap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482399746-GCOFSDOQHTX1POWO1FWM/dragon.JPG Home Dragon Sculpture: Paperclay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482402852-5VU968RJM7NPKOKDCYB6/keychain.JPG Home Leather Keyfob https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482399045-3EVZUFY9M20V26D81MOX/doll-jane.jpg Home Posable Felt Doll https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482399271-WCB7N6WFR8BZPYGYR3Y4/dragon-paltiya.jpg Home Dragon Sculpture: Pal Tiya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482403612-52AU8QYHKYE6EHID29IC/faeriedoor.JPG Home Faerie Door https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482399117-5HSHI2EFU3S593KINZ24/balloon.jpg Home Steampunk Hot Air Balloon: Mixed Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1601482399609-HQJIDWNTOS24CY3U2IN4/eva.JPG Home Doll Repaint: Colette from Dumbo https://www.dreamupart.com/instagram daily 0.75 2020-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1603982491000-3JWUGMSEKLB6EXZ89TQC/glowforge-referral-link Instagram Glowforge Referral Link https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1605039472477-D8LA16GJ7MZLUAQSKL4T/How+to+Make+a+LifeSize+Wolf+Puppet+%7C+Kerrie+Lee+%7C+Dream+Up Instagram How to Make a Lifesize Wolf Puppet: Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a8c7f67752c531212c636/1602948973399-X9LHG5IUKY76EB5621NO/eye.jpeg Instagram How to Make Realistic Eyes for Puppets, Dolls, and Sculptures
