Two signs. In a day. So here we have my new entity friend, the Patreon of the Arts. Welcome!

Where did they come from and where will they go? These and many other questions ... :-) Sun, 29 Apr 2012 10:14:04 +0100 https://energyart.uk/art_doll_sand_shaman.htm https://energyart.uk/art_doll_sand_shaman.htm Inspired by Will Taylor's new album, I found myself wanting to make a spirit doll (art doll) for the first time in a long time. I was surprised by this but also very happy because the process of making these little sculptures is nothing like anything else I've ever done. So meet the Sand Shaman and his story ...

Only, a spirit doll being handmade, is of course on a totally different level of intimacy for the person compared to looking at something that someone else made a long time ago. Fashioning a humanoid figure with your own hands is of course one of THE primal art experiences, and one which opens the door to many, many other things, spirit dolls being just one example of that.

This is the start of many things including the art dolls. This is a repost of the original article from SH.com which wanted to be on this website - so welcome to my spirit friends here on this art site :-)
