Ruth, A Wise Woman Matriarch Art Doll

Description

Ruth is a mixed media art doll. She embodies both the Mother and Crone phases of the Maiden/Mother/Crone cycle, part of the ancient female archetype. You can see in her both the joys and sorrows of raising her family and dedicating her life to caring for others. She possesses both wisdom and quiet strength. She is the symbol of feminine strength, wisdom and maternal love. She is meant to represent the countless generations of women who have borne, raised, supported, guided and ultimately shaped all of our lives.

Ruth has a face and hands made of polymer clay which have then been accented with pastels and colored chalks. Her shawl is hand knitted. Her body is made from pieces of a vintage quilt and accented with hand beadwork. She measures approximately 15 inches high by 7 inches wide. She is stuffed with fiberfill and pellets, which give her the weight to allow her to stand unaided.

I make my art from bits and pieces I have gathered along the path of my life, with liberal doses of humor and vision added for good measure. This piece is one of a kind and you are unlikely to find anything like it elsewhere.
