A healing art doll is a deeply personal creation that embodies
themaker's life, stories, emotions, and creative journey. The more
thought, emotion, and intuition invested in the design and
construction, the more profound and evocative the response--
both for the maker and, often, for viewers. Crafting a healing art
doll can facilitate shifts, transformations, or personal healing as
defined by the maker. Sharing a healing art doll with a group,
including the story and emotions behind it as well as the maker’s
process, enriches the doll’s meaning and strengthens its
connection to both the maker and the group.
A maker of healing art dolls is some who:
- Is curious about using healing dolls as tolls for personal healing and transformation
- Is willing to explore, investigate, and contemplate emotional expressions, beliefs, values, and
life experiences.
- Embraces her vulnerability and engages with her creative energies.
- Takes creative risks and focuses on exploration rather than perfection
