My name is Angie Gill and I am a 37 year old, happily married, mother of three.

I am the sole designer at Gilly Gals. All of the work on not only my dolls, but this site ad well, is done solely by myself. I have been creating my one of a kind genie and belly dance designs for 10 years come Feb 1st, 2009! I pride myself in creating extremely high quality one of a kind dolls for the discriminating collector. I am very proud so say that my Genies and Belly Dancers are the very best on the market today, Bar None!! I am sure you will see many like mine, but I can say in confidence that mine are THE original and the very best in not only quality, but design as well as pesentation, out as far as  OOAK Genies and Belly Dancers are concerned. My company signature slogan of "Often Imitated, Never Duplicated" simply says it all. That is my promise to you. My dolls are known world wide for the extreme detail work and attention to authenticity that I put into them. I have no formal education in the arts, as I am a self taught artist. I create what I like and what is pleasing to my eye in hopes that others will view it in the same manner. Creating is apart of my being. It is a passion in my heart that does not let me rest. I keep a notebook beside my bed so that when I have an idea before falling to sleep, I can jot it down. My creations now reside in locations as far away as Hong Kong, Italy, France and Holland.

Nearly all of the fabrics, charms and findings that I use on my 11 1/2" dolls come from locations that are in theme with the dolls themselves. My fabrics mostly come from Bali and Bangalore. With beads and findings coming from places like Bom Bay and Egypt! I try to use tiny jewelry Iraqi coins when I can get them. Many of my creations have genuine semi precious stones on them as well. As with all true One of a Kind dolls, my works have full facial repaints, restyled hair and costume designs that you will not see from any other artist. I am a firm believer that fine art is based on truly original work and not a watered down version of what another artist has already done. No one is interested in seeing yesterdays news, right?
