Doll Making - The Art of Empowerment

Paper Doll
Doll making is an ancient art that serves many purposes. Civilizations throughout the ages created figures in their own images because they believed their “dolls” held symbolic meaning and supernatural influence.
The first doll makers believed their lifelike creations linked them to having and controlling life.  
Women can have a profound experience when they engage in creating a doll for them self or someone else. Doll making is a potent tool that can be used for self-growth, manifestation and healing.
To venture into this art form the artist can look for doll making supplies in unlikely places such as the kitchen, bathroom, garage or basement. Once the items have been gathered the artist can begin assembling them or she can get together with other women for an afternoon of doll making.
The dolls created could become an encouragement or self-affirming doll or it could bring clarity to something that is going on inside of the individual and provide an opportunity of empowerment.
