Wendy
Froud has been a
doll maker since the age of five. As soon as she could bend a pipe
cleaner and tape bits of fabric together she began to make the kind of
dolls she couldn't buy. Dolls of centaurs and satyrs, unicorns and
faeries, all to populate the world she wanted to be a part of. She
continues to do so to this day.
Wendy worked as sculptor and puppet
builder for Jim Henson for many years, primarily on the films THE DARK CRYSTAL,
LABYRINTH and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. She sculpted "Jen" and "Kira" for
THE DARK CRYSTAL and "Yoda" for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Other work for
Jim Henson included THE MUPPET SHOW and THE MUPPET MOVIE. In addition to
her film work, Wendy has also made puppets for use in television commercials.

| Wendy's dolls ands figures are highly
sought after and are in many prestigious collections around the world. She
now devotes most of her time to making dolls and figures for exhibition and sale
throughout the US and England. Through her association with The Lynda Guber
Organization, a production company based in Los Angeles, Wendy will be developing
and producing a variety of new and innovative products, including publishing,
feature films, television, and new media under the banner of THE WORLD OF FROUD.
Wendy lives in Devon, England with
her husband Brian, their son Toby, Barney the dog, and Nutley the cat.
