I'm a messy crafter. In my Witch Town destruction is the mother of creation and chaos is a fertile ground.

My favourite part of doll crafting is this. Not styling or dressing up, but discovering the character, finding its' essence through colours, stiffness, lightness, roughness, flow and I dare to say vibration of the fabric and shiny trinkets. I use pre-loved, unwanted, outworn, broken etc materials to make my dolls. Those materials are donated and sometimes sent to me from across 7 seas. Sometimes the choice is between landfills and my craftroom, between announcing something a trash or it becoming a treasure again. I work with former belongings of those alive and deceased, giving them second life in my dolls. And I think it just adds value to them. It makes them special.

Sometimes it's the materials that lead the way to the finished doll, not my ideas. In that sense I myself as an artist feel more like a door, like gate for these creatures to enter the world, not the god that creates them. It's my job to serve them and find what they need, not make them exactly how I've seen them with my minds' eye. The process of making a doll doesn't happen with empty mental space, this is where inner conversation happen and I dare to call them conversations with dolls. I don't literally hear them talking (I've been asked this, so to be clear...), but that inner conversation happening while I craft helps me to find new perspectives, reminds me of my values, shows me the way, so I dare to say that dolls talk to me, materials reveal secrets and I have a lot of teachers right at my fingers. My only teachers in doll making have been dolls that I make.

Does this make any sense to you or I sound like the lady who has lost her sanity long ago?

8am and on. Still trying to come up with a better question to make sense of the models answers. Still unsure. And once again feeling unsettling traces of mismatch between professional attitude and personal mindset. Breathing into the tea mug. And waiting for mental dust to settle.

Auch, immer wieder schnell: Müde vom ungefilterten Rauschen. Die verschiedenen Herausforderungen auf verschiedenen Ebenen, und die Unwägbarkeiten widersprüchlicher Prioritäten. Es ist immer noch still über dem Viertel, gegenüber glänzt frühe Sonne auf überfrorenen Schindeln und im Augenblick reicht dieser Anblick völlig aus, eine freundlichere Nähe zu Allem herzustellen.

(Too: The surprising endeavour of listening to ones inner monologues while mind and body are idle. Somewhere in between unsolved daily challenges, weird anxieties of all flavours, fantasies same as weird, and a transforming subtext hard to understand. Moving on as a strategy to avoid this kind of exposure. Trained to feel guilty in idle mode.)
