My goal is to make wholesome, nurturing, and creative toys that support a child’s imagination and the free expression of his/her emotions, dreams, and fears. I use natural materials, mostly wool and other fibers as they provide a grounding connection to the earth and a rich texture for both the eyes and hands. All of us, irregardless of age, can benefit from the reminder that we are an integral part of this earth and the natural world.
You will notice that the dolls do not have faces, that the playscape elements are simple in form, and that each playscape mat has significant "free" space to give a child physical room to move their characters about as they wish. The idea is to provide a “jumping off point”, a roughly 'sketched canvas'; a toy that will spark their interest and allow them to create their own world as they play along, adding their own imagined details and individual stories.
I believe each child’s world would be a wonder to see!
