Gypsy Moon Alchemy of Creativity and Inspiration
My gypsy moon
You are the light that
Fills the room
Brighten the eyes
Of everyone
Won’t you come home?
-Joshua Meltzer lyrics for Gypsy Moon
This little spirit is adorned with beads, homespun yarn and colorful fabric. She was created to inspire healing. She carries a small talisman for good luck and protection from her belt. (A green "evil eye" bead is there, I like to call it The Eye of God)
Wrapped with colorful bits of fabric, her sweet face was handcrafted with polymer clay
A rag doll is a cloth figure, a doll traditionally home-made from (and stuffed with) spare scraps of material. They are one of the most ancient children's toys in existence; the British Museum has a
Roman rag doll, found in a child's grave dating from 300 BC.

I love these, such vibrant colors! You always inspire me.
I am delighted :)
I love the way you use fibers and found materials in your doll adn the way our own imagination is allowed to create what is not apparent ie limbs etc. I love your work and the soulfullness of it all.
