Susan Maw and Sally Bell have "created" together since they were kids on their parents' farm using their cats as models for their doll clothes! They had a business together making dolls in the 80s. After taking a break to raise their families, they started their current business, Maw-Bell Designs. They love to create "the look" for each book and follow through with designs that play on the theme. They love all aspects of art, but playing with color and fabric is the most rewarding. They feel so fortunate to be sisters who both enjoy designing, talking about designing, and redesigning after they have talked about design! Susan and her family live in northwest Montana near beautiful Glacier National Park. She has three sons and a daughter. Visit the Maw-Bell Designs website at www.maw-belldesigns.com.
