Inside a doll 🥚 to welcome their first child 🌿 vervain the enchanter’s herb, yarrow to wait without worry, lavender & roses, acacia flowers, resins and moss and finally a piece of sea-glass picked up from the shore near Glencoe, Scotland.
The Gaels 🌊 I will be listing 3 new dolls created while on the Isles of Lewis, Harris and Skye in the Hebrides Scotland on our website today they are filled with heather and quartz pebbles found on the shores of these islands ♥️ . . . #spiritdoll #familiar #handmadedoll #isleofskye #isleoflewis #hebridean #gael #scotland
She and me :: this little doll has travelled alongside me through so many lands and experiences. It’s still difficult to explain the exact magic that she holds. In all these years of making dolls each day they remain a mystery 🌠. . . #dollmagic #spiritdoll #medicinedoll #familiar
A lucky moment when we were walking with author and broadcaster Fiona Ritchie discussing the power of music :: as we entered Dunkeld Church we caught renowned Highland fiddler Pete Clarke practicing his composition to be played on Remembrance Day ♥️
Home again and back to the birds of Sherbrooke Forest ♥️ I will have a new family of dolls to share very soon that began on the shores of the Isles of Lewis and Harris and Skye. I am calling them the Gaels - singers and speakers of gaelic- mother tongue.
New moon in Scorpio :: slowly emerging from the otherside and looking through photos we took near Three Sisters in Glencoe, Scotland. Caught by the light of a dark sun.
Flying back home 🌠 I will be answering emails and requests for dolls very soon ♥️
A beautiful day at Crossbones Graveyard today thank you to @radicalhoneybee and everyone else who joined us to gift this doll to the outcast spirits. You can come home ♥️
