Limited Edition "Shani" Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) with Mohair Wig

Berdine Creedy has carved out a one-of-a-kind niche for herself in the doll world. Her creative efforts have provided her with an income, an artistic mission, a great abundance of joy, and a global coterie of friends. Because of her multiple accomplishments in the doll world — as an artist, an advocate for charitable concerns, and a woman who embodies the spirit of creative camaraderie — Creedy was the recipient of the Jones Publishing Lifetime Achievement Award, presented in 2017 at the International Doll & Teddy Show held in Asheville, N.C.,

“Besides being an incredibly talented artist, Berdine Creedy is one of the bright lights of the dollmaking world. Not only does she share her creative whimsy with the delightful body of work she does, but she has always shared her warmth and passion for this wonderful hobby,” said Robert Tonner, the 2016 Lifetime Achievement recipient. “There is no one that deserves this honor more. I offer her my deep congratulations.”

Earning the respect of her professional peers has always been a significant part of Creedy’s life. She always looked to other doll artists for encouragement and approbation. “I have been doing dolls since the early 1990s, back then in South Africa. It was a great journey from then until now. Meeting doll artists like Hildegard Günzel along the way was a fantastic experience,” Creedy said. “I learned from Hildegard, and she became my friend and mentor. Nothing can beat that.”
