My spirit doll collection is for display rather than for play and symbolizes or embodies an activity, a spiritual moment, experience, the divine, etc. The spirit doll is an ancient being, familiar and beloved to many cultures around the world. By engaging in these ancestral crafts we weave a bridge back to our own great grandmothers, before she travels on to do her work with those who need her. Each one brings you love, happiness, health and peace, sent with my best wishes.
Maia
(To the Romans, Maia was the incarnation of the earth mother and goddess of spring, after whom they named the month of May.)
Maia, my new Spirit Doll, is made from clay, sticks, wool, muslin, ribbons, fleece and silk. I sculpted her face to represent the tribal dolls from various countries, painted in layers. She has a hook on her back for hanging. Her little babies, wrapped in muslin, are only heads.
Maia measures 30cm in total.
Maia is £29.50 (reserved)
Postage prices all include 'signed for' tracked delivery:
UK: £5.50, (free U.K. postage if adopting more than one bear)
Europe £11, U.S.A. £16, R.O.W. £15 I should be very grateful if overseas adopters would pay 'send money to friends and family overseas' to avoid the PayPal fees.
These are collectors' items made using materials and traditional components that make them unsuitable as children's toys.

Amaranth
(The amaranthus flower is a symbol of love and beauty, representing eternal life or hope for peace. Giving someone an amaranth flower can be seen as a gesture of admiration, friendship, and love.)
Amaranth, my new Spirit Doll, is made from clay, bundled sticks, wool, muslin, silk braid, ribbons, fleece and silk. She also has words on silk thread to symbolise strong feelings. I sculpted her face to represent the tribal dolls from various countries, painted in layers. She has a hook on her back for hanging.
Amaranth measures 30cm excluding her headdress.
