My real name is Cinnamon Willis and I love making dolls. I was born in 1982 in Brooklyn New York and I’ve been interested in art since the age of 6.  At 8 yrs old, I was enrolled in a comic book drawing class at Brooklyn College where I was the youngest of the group. In 2005, a multimedia gaming environment along with a poster I created was on display at The Queens Media Arts Development (QMAD) as part of their annual Framing AIDS art exhibition.  I graduated from The New York College of Technology with an Associates degree in Art and Advertising and a Bachelors degree in Communication Design.  I just recently started creating dolls as of July 2010 seeking advice from other doll makers that I’ve met on the internet and at gallery openings. I came up with the name “Melandolly’s” for my dolls since they were intended to express a feeling of sadness.  I have been learning and improving on my dolls ever since and constantly looking for new styles and techniques.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my work, I’d love to hear from you!  Email me, Thanks for visiting!
