| With love... |
This Celebration Doll was inspired by loving words from the friends and family of Denise in honor of a very special birthday. Her essential beauty is marked by playfulness, compassion, devotion to children, an extravagance of spirit, an intriguing concoction of colors, textures and spirituality. "It is the single most affirming thing I have ever experienced!"

Doll-making workshops...can YOU make a doll?
Yes, you CAN!
The women who made the dolls in this picture had no idea they could create such extraordinary dolls! They came to a workshop because the hostess encouraged them to just give it a try. The thing is, our doll-making workshops are really and truly for everyone, at all skill levels! It isn't about being an artist. It is about caring for the person the doll is for. And feeling GREAT!
See what others have made and what they are saying about how much they got from the experience. |

Is this your fairy nest?
Most of the dolls and fairies and figures we make are designed for a specific person. But sometimes we are inspired to create something without knowing who it is for! Was this fairy nest, the "Spirit of Fresh Love," made for you or for someone you love? If you think so, hurry to make your purchase before someone else does! It is one-of-a-kind.... |

You give new life...
...across the world, in Nepal!
When you purchase a doll or participate in a doll- making workshop, you lift your own spirits, and the people around you, and the person receiving the doll, and ALSO...
...a child far away in the kingdom of Nepal. Original Presents devotes a minimum of 10% of gross profits to charities, primarily the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation. Our visit to Kathmandu in 2003 opened our hearts forever to the warm and spiritual people of Nepal. |
