Down in the low country of the Carolinas, deep in the salt water marshes, just as the pink and orange sunset touches the white egret’s wings and the blue crab’s claw, you may – if you’re lucky -- catch a glimpse of the Who Doos skimming across the water’s surface to tease the splashing spotted trout, twirling to dance with the grumpy brown pelicans, or scuttling across the shell-encrusted sand to ride the hermit crabs.

The Who Doos are mystical folk, born of the love from a Southern grandmother’s hand-sewn quilt, of wishes from blown dandelions, and the laughter of seagulls. Legend has it that long ago, when the low country was lit at night by simply stars and candlelight, that the Who Doos would dance on the soft breeze of sweet dreams and heart-felt wishes.

One midsummer’s night, as the dolphins played tag in the moonbeams, a Who Doo named Suzie-Q smiled as she heard a kind whispered wish for a loved one’s safe return from war. “Let it be,” she whispered. And so it was.

Since that time, the Who Doos manifest occasional dreams and wishes from sincere folk of pure hearts. But take care, lest you wish upon a Who Doo doll, for our wishes can have consequences.

Designed and crafted in small batches of six to ten dolls per generation, Who Doo Dolls are native to the Carolinas. Each doll is uniquely hand-stitched from hand-painted up-cycled fabric and decorated with individually selected yarn, found objects, shells, and other trinkets. Find a Who Doo decked out with tingling bells or shiny sequins to keep away bad dreams or negative thoughts.

*******************************************************************
Who Doo Art Dolls are born in the South, from scraps of painted cloth, colorful thread and magnolia breezes. They are here to help you manifest your dreams by adding charms that represent what you desire.


Each Who Doo Doll is unique and has a personality of its own. (Hand sewn and Painted fabrics) They are signed by the artist and are made in groups of 6-10 for each generation. Along with your Who Doo doll, you get your first charm to attach to your doll and if you want to hang it on the wall, attach a ring to the back. We like to think of our Who Doo dolls as art with the purpose to bring joy.
