Stone Child (in progress)This morning, I painted the cab faces I'd made earlier on and felt like working on my second spirit doll shape, which I'd left in a corner for months. She was meant for a special someone until I realized I was still angry with this person. I gave her a sweet face and worked on, thinking she must be called "In the name of love (still angry after all this time)". I was trembling while beading. When my partner came home he commented that she looked like an Inuit. I then realized she must be the "Stone Child" (as in Clarissa Pinkola Estes' "Warming the Stone Child") and added a stone collected from the Seine riverbank . We share similar scars.
I also painted the face of Alice's Spirit doll today.

Hélène,
Your dolls are beautiful, I love the faces and especially the colors on In the Name of Love. I'm intrigued by "Warming of the Stone Child". I struggle with issues on both sides abandonment. I'm inspired to do a little resarch on this story. Thank you!
Oh thanks, Grace ! On "in the name of love" I must say I was inspired by your own research on color ; it helped me let loosen my inner critic's grip and try to be more adventurous, doing what I feel rather than what I think is proper.
Hope you get some food for thought with the Stone Child.
Hugs
These are very powerful healing pieces to me. The emotional investigation/release they are allowing you to experience also has a very powerful vibration to them. Thought of you in a bead store today. Was making my selections and suddenly thought I had to remember to check your blog when I got home. Now I know why ...
Wow, I'm deeply moved by your post Acey. Thank you.
Hugs
These are amazing dolls, Helene. You have a way of touching one's heart in so many ways.
I hope finishing them gave you lots of peace.
