Raw and Ugly DollsThis is a featured page

It is never easy to explain or give folks a reason why I make these dolls...I know they are not "pretty or cute", they are in fact, plain and simple pure expression of my own inner quest for transformation and creativity.

I take great pleasure in their making, specially because they look like they need much loving.
I remember an old doll of mine long ago, it got wet and startedh to fall apart. My grandmother said we had to burry her in the garden, and I used to dream of me digging her out, I had forgotten about her until the time when I made this little doll! Now, that is one doll in great need of some loving, perhaps we create to heal old memories....who knows, I can only share what I have experienced and encourage others to do the same. You don't have to know "why" these creatures come out of your hands, they are a mystery, your own creative genious at work...or at play!

Garden Guardial by Griselda
found in some Egyptian digging, I loved
her simplicity and even in her uglyness, she looks endearing to me.
