"Each day,
I will introduce a Heartfelt doll
which has not been seen on this website before.
I believe strongly, passionately,
in doll-making as a process which
transforms the human heart;
entertains;
challenges human beliefs;
informs the human mind;
heals the broken spirit;
transitions the human from
one state of being to another;
chronicles our human story."
Well, 365 days and 365 dolls later,
I have fulfilled the creative challenge I set myself.
I have set goals;
managed my time;
pushed my design ability;
argued in frustration with my equipment;
foraged and fossicked amongst my treasures.
I have come to realise and confirm that doll-making
is an art form;
can heal;
is a wonderful medium for story-telling;
a transformative process.
Dolls are for me
soul companions;
chroniclers;
a conduit for transformation;
a mirror to reflect my inner world and a hammer to shape it;
FUN!!!
:-)
Thank you for sharing my journey.
