I’ve been busy creating a series of dolls exploring the folklore of Vasilisa’s Doll and the strongest symbol has been fire - Vasalisa was sent into the dark forest to find fire and returns with a fire-filled skull lantern gifted by Baba Yaga after her magical doll helps her to pass the initiations. Intuition 🔥. These dolls will be available tomorrow live from our online dollmarket through our Facebook page event - there’s a link above if you want to drop by have a chat and meet these doll helpers ♥️💀🔥. . . #vasilisa #vasilisasdolls #babayaga #witch #familiar #sacredfamiliar #doll
