Greetings! It is still winter here in New England, with ice and snow. Perhaps you can recall a time in your life when YOU felt cold and alone, experienced a 'winter of the heart.' Did someone special lift you up? Warm your spirit? Remind you of how special you are? Think how good you would feel if you could find a way to express your appreciation for that kindness with a truly meaningful gift. Some people have found a way to capture feelings of love and appreciation in sacred doll-making. Whether you make the doll in a workshop, or we make it for you, these gifts are truly great gifts of love. Give yourself the gift of doll- making, and brighten these last days of winter for yourself and for someone you love! All the best, Karen Can YOU capture feelings in a doll? How it works...doll-making workshops There is a moment in the doll-making process when you find yourself deeply connected, in tune with something sacred and joyful. You know without being able to describe exactly HOW you know that you have captured something of the beautiful spirit of the person you are making the doll for (which can be your own Self..). How does this happen? It's not about art or craft technique. It is about your good intentions and willingness to reach for something special at the core of your being!
