POPULAR CHARACTERS
My People no face Indian dolls consist of characters from Indigenous folklore of various American tribes. Some dolls document historical clothing, dance regalia and a few are portrait dolls of historical characters.
Hours on hours are spent in researching characteristics, patterns and colors to be as accurate as possible in portrayal of actual Native America. I am constantly looking to broaden the number of various characters.
There are some that are more popular than others and seem to dominate my work. Maybe because the general public is more acquainted with their title or because of the story they tell. Below are listed just a couple of those characters.
EARTH MOTHER Everyone seems to be able to relate to this white hair elder who sustains us and brings blessings of wisdom, health and long life.
CHEROKEE ROSE Because of the "Trail of Tears" many can relate to the story of this maiden and the tear on her cheek.
SKY WOMAN Another entity that seems to capture people is the story of the maiden who fell through the sky to create the North American continent.
And they range in size from the 4" ornaments, 6" cradle dolls, 6" shorties to the 12" maidens and 18" princess dolls.
