“Pride: made in honor of the LGBT community and my many beautiful friends.

I used threads to create a rainbow, the knots represent friendship and connection.

Red for life, orange for healing,yellow for sunshine, green for nature,blue for harmony, indigo for serenity, and violet for spirit. I chose stones not only for their color to match the rainbow of Pride, also for their healing energy and vibrations.

Garnet revitalizes, purified and balances energies, bringing serenity or passion. ( depends on how you need it ) it inspires love, alleviates emotional disharmony, activates and strengthens courage and hope. Something we need more of in this world.

Red aventurine with its lustrous orange color, provides physical, emotional and mental healing that can lead to a more joyful and balanced life.

Citrine opens intuition, imparts joy, wonder and enthusiasm. It raises self esteem and self confidence.

Green aventurine brings good luck and prosperity and positivity.

Lapis lazuli encourages self awareness, allows self expression, reveals your inner truth, helps to instill honesty and compassion for yourself. It stimulates creativity and clarity. It assists you when you need to confront and speak your truth with confidence.

Amethyst relieves stress and strain. It soothes irritability and balances any mood swings. It dispels anger and rage, fear and anxiety and dissolves negativity.

I know she is little, but she is very magical. She stands with you, beside you and will hold you up if you need.”

“A healing doll is made to represent a person, animal, Goddess or God. They are used in meditation, self help or ritual magic and spell work to effect change through the application of imitative magic. The use of healing dolls, poppets and dolls in healing, magic and art dates back to ancient times. They can be fashioned from all kinds of materials. I try to use as many natural resources as possible, such as: roots, branches, herbs, shells, stones, clay, metals, cottons and natural fibers. All things hold energy, from the growing herbs, bending branches, even the flowing dress worn on special occasions. I often use cloth donated from women worn during healing circles. These energies, along with the universal energy, give life to the doll.”
