I make spirit/art/voodoo dolls - whatever people want to call them these days... What I create is usually based on the traditional style of a voodoo doll with herbs, gemstones, colors, symbols, etc decorating the doll and charging it. Each doll is charged with Reiki and represents a certain spirit, god, goddess, angel, lwa, orisha, or elemental - or even abstracts like hope, peace, love, dreams... I think the thing that really sets my work apart from some others is the detailed sculpting and/or painting I add to the faces... I also feel for some reason spirits are represented with feathers - it's just something I did from the first dolls I created, some have sculpted feathers, all have feathers attached... Each doll pretty much makes it self as my hands put together the pieces. I go into each doll's creation with a plan of what I want to represent, but the rest of the way there's no telling how it will come out as I intuitively choose the parts that fit the theme...
I've decided to drop the price of last year's Samhain spirit and Autumn spirits on my Etsy site to make room for the one's I'll be making soon... I actually have made a Samhain 2008 doll but don't have photos yet.
