Barb Kobe Medicine Dolls

I've been absent here for a few months. With some minor medical problems, the recent holidays, switching my studio from one room to another and a home computer slowly leaking life, blogging has not been easy. But things are back on track and with DSL in my very near future (at last!) I should be a lot more active here!
I have been busy with my dolls. One of the things I've just begun is an online class that is an incredible journey into healing dolls and self discovery. Barb Kobe conducts the class. Please go and check out her web site. http://www.barbkobe.com/ She's an amazing doll artist and creativity coach. Her class is very different from all the "learn to make a doll"classes that are out there. Those are all great in their own right. Barb's class goes very deep into your artistic soul and helps you to look inside and discover ways to use doll making as a way of transforming and healing various aspects of your life. Every doll, from all the participants, is of their own style and design using whatever medium seems to fit the doll at hand. I already feel artistically stretched and I'm only beginning. I've been going to bed at night only to discover future dolls lining up for their turn to come to life. I guess that means I will post some photos of my work with this class soon!
