About My People faceless dolls

 My People Indian dolls . . .
Are an original creation born of a merging of the Hopi Kachina with the No Face corn husk dolls of the Iroquois.
* * Inventory in my etsy shop will be increasing gradually.
> Some characters are taken from folklore and others represent the history of tribal dress.
> Each doll is a unique one of a kind, signed & numbered in the order each is created.
> This is a nation of hand carved Indian dolls, consisting of seven tribes along with a Grandmother pillow doll. 

> The tribes are defined by size, amount of detail, ornamentation and price.
> They are each carved by hand, sanded, a design sketched, burned, sealed, painted, adorned and accessories added - all made by the artist.
> Carving by hand imparts a spirit to the doll and insures that you get an absolute one of a kind.  I have no partners or help with My People; they are done, start to finish, by me WITHOUT any power tools.

> Finally, they are varnished to seal and protect.
> Each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that has the story of the first No Face doll of the Iroquois (Corn Maiden) and the story of the doll you purchase.
> Hours are spent in research of various North American tribal colors and designs along with history and folklore.  
> They have been purchased at Indian Markets and art shows across the country by Indian and non Indian alike.  
> My People have been exhibited in galleries, museums and written up in newspapers, Doll News and Art Doll Magazine.  
> They have garnered my membership, by her peers, into ODACA (Original doll Artist Council of America).
> They are part of the permanent collection at Standing Bear Indian Museum in Ponca City, OK.  
> My People are in private collections around the world, creating a bridge of understanding between cultures.

>  All are packed, insured and shipped with great care.
> I have a very easy lay away plan for any doll over $250 - message me for details.
> Special orders are accepted with restrictions - message me for details.  
* Presently, I am working on an order of 165 dolls.  Special orders are "fit in" as time allows.
> Since I began in 2007, I have carved over 700 dolls with more to come.
