Winter's Slumber

I've always wanted to create a doll from sticks. 

Gathered alder twigs and lichen,wool, and organic cotton yarn are used to create this soothing winter being. 

The spiral represents winter's time of rest and going inward. I love the quiet and stillness of the winter months.

Sword Fern Spirit Doll

She is lady of sword ferns, who holds secrets from the cool forest floor. She is filled with fern plant matter inside, and wears a fern on her skirt.

Sword ferns always show up for me in dreams and journeys, as guides and protectors. I am always grateful for their lush and bountiful presence here in the Pacific Northwest.
