I make spirit/art/voodoo dolls - whatever people want to call them these days... What I create is usually based on the traditional style of a voodoo doll with herbs, gemstones, colors, symbols, etc decorating the doll and charging it. Each doll is charged with Reiki and represents a certain spirit, god, goddess, angel, lwa, orisha, or elemental - or even abstracts like hope, peace, love, dreams... I think the thing that really sets my work apart from some others is the detailed sculpting and/or painting I add to the faces... I also feel for some reason spirits are represented with feathers - it's just something I did from the first dolls I created, some have sculpted feathers, all have feathers attached... Each doll pretty much makes it self as my hands put together the pieces. I go into each doll's creation with a plan of what I want to represent, but the rest of the way there's no telling how it will come out as I intuitively choose the parts that fit the theme...

Tell Us More (we'd like to get to know you better). About Me and My Art, Hobby, Craft:
I am a spiritual artist and reiki healer - I create empowered spiritual jewelry and spirit art dolls. I have a fascination with exploring ancient things - especially anything that we still haven't figured out how or why our ancestors created them. I have a few theories about the civilization known as Atlantis and love any stories or artwork that attempt to portray concepts of Atlantis. I am a geek and love computers, sci-fi, and renaissance faires. I love getting dressed up and hanging out at renn faires and sci-fi conventions and would do them much more if I had the luxury of time and money... I used to be involved in the local SCA group, but had less time to do so after I got married. I have a sci-fi story or 3 running around in my head and eventually will write them - I keep in mind as my inspiration that my favorite author didn't really start writing novels until her 40's, so I still have a few years to catch up :)
