Done!!

This post should have been published over a week ago, but hey, sometimes things get a little behind.

We finally finished the dolls . . . They're done!!!

I am so so happy with them. We have worked for weeks starting with socks for the inner strength of the head, until the final addition of red beeswax crayon as rosy cheeks . . .

The kids took such care with every step along the way . . .

Each doll is so unique . . .

This project meant as much to me as it did them. I'll never forget making these five dolls with these  five girls. Spending the morning sitting together in a circle on the rug, working working, deciding deciding, creating creating.
