Cottage print Wish Doll with musk fragrant sachet - $15.00

This poseable Wish Doll wears a folksy cottage print dress, with a green sash, and comes with a musk oil fragrant sachet pillow.



I was inspired by Guatemalan Worry Dolls to make these 3 inch tall flexible wire and bead dolls. I wrap the wire body with fabric remnants or ribbon, and use more to make the dress, sash and braid. I sew seed beads to the braid and sash. Each is slightly different, with diffe...

Beaded Art Doll of Country Plaid Cloth - $45.00

This is a one-of-a-kind in a series Dream Star doll, 8.5 inches tall. I hand painted her face with dreamy grey brown eyes and a happy expression. I decorated her with beads, sequins and a felt heart. Her yarn hair is decorated with a few lovely wavy edged paper beads which are so fun to make. She wears a beaded skirt of flower petals. A collection of assorted charms, some made from vintage jewelry hang from her ribbo...

One of A Kind Kabuki Beaded Doll with Shinto headdress - $90.00

This is the second in a very short series of Kabuki or Noh Mask dolls. I devised and painted the face myself in the general style of the traditional Japanese theater, rather than representing any particular character from the plays themselves. These are part of my Dream Doll series, visually appealing, to inspire your dreams and conversations. She carries spiral patterns in her hands and feet to remind us to meditate...

Journey Art Doll with Crystal Wand, OOAK - $250.00

Still here in my shop...Her name is "Journey". She began her life as a Byzantine Russian babushka, journeying as a storyteller around medieval Europe picking up a Greek coin, an Indian silver and crystal charm and a Roman Rosary bead. She has added the charms and a quartz crystal spear to her magical rainbow staff.



I created her staff to be removable and used by you as a wand, to focus your spiritual thoughts.

Cerulean Art Doll Beaded with charms - $45.00

This doll is so pretty. I made her 8.5 inches tall from some vintage cotton - more from my mother-in-law's collection - in a bright blue and lilac abstract floral print. Her eyes are really vivid. I've been enjoying painting the faces of my latest dolls.



I decorated her with glass and ceramic beads and sequins and hand dyed the blue silk flower petals for her skirts. Notice the pearls! Her cha...
