SiltiCrafts creatrix KristineI've started crafting this new weird doll, and she is talking about how everything is connected, that no mind is separate from the others, all thoughts born in the ocean of collective consciousness, everything and everyone connected with invisible strings... Her eyes breaks and reflects the light. Her face is decorated with dots, lines and spirals. Her colorful hair is kind of messy, but two neat braids are hanging down. She has no body, just kind of tentacles so far, I'm not sure she will get a body, but she will definitely get some kind of a crown. I struggle to comprehend what kind of entity I'm dealing with. Any ideas? Any mythological creature, deity, entity comes to your mind reading and seeing all this?
She waves her comfrey root stick to transport herself safely from a place to place, one state of mind to another. She is a Wild Flower. Playful, imaginative, vivacious witch, inhibiting this time and space as unapologetically wild creature.
I struggle to call myself a doll maker lately. It's April, it's a very busy season in the garden and in my mind, and I'm learning to drive a car as a toddler mom close to 40 - it's damn expensive and not coming easily, but I can barely get out of this remote place without driving a car, so I have to. My mental space lately is constantly overloaded, so I carry, lift and dig in my garden to get some sunshine through the thick clouds in my brain. Doll crafting is an essential part of my self-reflection, rest and self-care all in one, almost a spiritual practice, it's also my micro-business and I havent given enough of time to that lately. From who knows where this little lady found the way to my Witch Town, she didn't even knock as an idea begging to be made into a doll, she just arrived with ease and confidence I haven't seen in me for a while. She arrived as a reminder.
P.s. The doll is available in my shop.

If I post a picture of a doll I've made, the one where the doll stares at you, is that eye-contact and should be marked as sensitive content?
This is my interpretation of Veļu Māte - the Mother of the Dead from Latvian mythology. One of the most feared deities because nobody comes back from her realm. She mostly visits in the shape of an old woman.
