As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been participating in Barb Kobe’s Medicine Doll Journey in which I’ve created dolls to facilitate my healing. This experience has offered some profound opportunities for growth as I’ve worked through several iterations of my scapegoat doll and finally reached the depths of my fear.
The next portion of Barb’s process is about creating a talisman that personifies the strengths that I wish to walk forward with. I’ve done some journaling and sketches, but this one has not fully materialized. Instead, what has come is a visit from fairies . . . so I’m indulging in bringing these beings to life.
My first fairy was in the fashion of Salley Mavor and was both easy and fun to create. Her form is from a pipe cleaner wrapped with embroidery floss, clothes from felt that is hand-embroidered and wings and skirt from silk flower petals. Her hat, of course, is an acorn top.
I've not done extensive journaling with this one. What I do get is that the fairy's message is about the importance of lightheartedness. I have lots of gratitude for the joy I experience as I bring these beings to life.
