Volume 11
Dolls, Dolls, Dolls, Porcelain and other materials
are the special featured items in these volume, After months of research,
lots of beading time and leather work we have reproduced Native American
dress styles and garments worn in the last two centuries. Their origin and
nation are represented on certain Dolls. Our staff and other artists across
the United States have put together a wonderful array of dolls dressed as
the Native American would have dressed on special occasion. The materials
used are of the same nature used by the Indian nations generations ago. In
recreating some of these garments we acquired photos from different museums
across the U.S. and miniaturized them to fit our dolls. None of the
Materials used are difficult to find. There are no secrets kept as to their
whereabouts. Most can be obtained at any well stocked craft store. However
some of the seed beads are antique but you can substitute new ones in place
of the antique ones.
If you have children dolls are a hobby they can enjoy with you and it can replace a lot of the
TV time that children
demand. Building bonds between parents and children now days is very difficult because very little time can be
shared in a constructive manor. Sharing a hobby with your child can do wonders for your personal relationship.
I am convinced that after spending many summers with my grandchildren visiting in my home and trying to keep them
entertained along with breaking their TV habit, that crafts did more then any one thing in promoting their education
while giving them great hand and eye coordination.
