Sekhmet and Bast Spirit dolls, as well as the Burma Legend Cats are all Symbolic of healing, joy and protection, these have been sold already...however I am making new Cat / Lioness Goddess dolls and they will be ready at my Etsy shop soon.
























Sekhmet was a lioness-goddess, the wife of Ptah and sister to Bast...created by Ra from the fire of his eyes as a creature of vengeance to punish people for their wrong doing, later on she became a peaceful protectress of the righteous, closely linked with the benevolent Bast.

In antiquity cats were symbolic of Sacredness and often took part in rituals for home protection thanksgiving and celebration.

A word about SPIRIT DOLLS AND POWER ANIMAL SPIRITS.

I am having such a great time reading everyone's comments in this blog...!!

The reason behind Power Animal Spirit dolls or Fetish art dolls is based in many traditions, mostly from the Egyptian and Native American, where animals were seen as sacred spirits, guides and protectors. My little dolls are simply WORKS OF ART, I do not make any statements as to their "powers" other than, they are made with love and clear intention to bring peace, inspiration and a sense of protection to everyone's home, the same kind of system used in Feng Shui. Thank you all for kind comments and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at gristello at gmail.com from time to time I get requests to make a doll with the face of a furry friend.

Hello my new friend...how wonderful it is for me to know, that all the little creatures go to a good home...so far away in that magic land...I am delighted to hear, and I know the intention you have placed in your doll only equals mine, because I made her with love.
Thanks for sharing this with me and kind comments.
I hope to see you back.

Hi Gris,
Just a quick message to say my little cat doll is looking fine in my art room now and I think creatively she is encouraging some inspiration!:)

Gris I seem to be getting all your posts from other people leaving you comments. Is there anyway you can stop their comments coming to my email address?
Many thanks.
Best wishes Jo.x

Hello Joanne, I think I might have lost a message of yours...if you are getting messages from people on this thread, it is because you have it liked like that...you are the only one who can undo that...I am afraid I don't know how to do it from here. Thanks for your kind comments and glad your little cat doll is a helper.

Hi Gris,
Thank you for your nice comments about my work. I just found your message.
For some reason I don't seem to be getting your extra replies anymore.
I have not received any extra emails from other bloggers, only you so I don't know what has been going on.
It's a Mystery!:)
