OOAK Dolls

 
 
 

Oh my Golly friends, did I discover a passion and Love. About 8 years ago I made a little doll for my dear Birdy… It was just after our last child was brought Earth-side and I was feeling so so much comfort and wholeness with our Home and Family—- it turned on a new light of Creativity. I remember not knowing at all what I was doing, but that something was firing up inside me… With every stitch there was a smile within just radiating outwards, I knew this was going to be a Rabbit Hole for me… We named that first Doll ‘Maple,’ and I wrote a small story that went along with her. It still hangs on my daughters wall….

Since then I have dabbled back and forth with different materials finding what I like to work with… Natural fibers are the root of everything I make- Fair Trade//Sustainable Cottons and Linens and Wool (organic what I can get it!) to beautiful prints and vintage finds… My girls and I hand dye many of the materials used here in our Home with Plant Matter… I use only organic or raw cotton fill…. Hand embroidery makes its way into each Doll, creating OOAK touches that make each toy unique.

I hope to stay tuned on this journey of mine! -xoxo
