Lets talk about Toni. She is a museum curator and loves history. Can you tell, her sign is a scorpio? #shopvolta #baltimorecraftweek #shopvoltabk #clothdollshandmade #clothdollsrtistry #blackcreators #AFRICANCRAFTS #africancraftsmanship #SHOPVOLTABK #womanceo #SHOPBEDSTUY #furnish #heirloompiece #heirloomsewing #beautifulhomeinspo #handmadebrooklyn #giftoflove #giftsforfriends #blackownedbiz #blackcreated #blackcrafters #africanamericanart #blackmade #wemaketoo #craftmom #africantextiles #brooklyncraft #fiberartists #artdolls #coilygirls #baltimorecraftweek (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM41Vf-pVjf/?igshid=1nyogbu49buki

In my previous post I had mention that I was given an opportunity of creating my first Muslim doll for my friends daughter. I must say that it was a challenge, but I was so happy to do it, because this doll came out so beautiful.

Some people have been curious as to how I begin. This is how it all starts. I begin just like this cutting the body and then I stuff. Stuffing the dolls takes a lot of time because the corn fiber filling has to be consistent. Once I am done, the dolls begin to come to life! #shopvoltabk #clothdollshandmade #clothdollsrtistry #blackcreators #AFRICANCRAFTS #africancraftsmanship #SHOPVOLTABK #womanceo #SHOPBEDSTUY #furnish #heirloompiece #heirloomsewing #beautifulhomeinspo #handmadebrooklyn #giftoflove #giftsforfriends #blackownedbiz #blackcreated #blackcrafters #africanamericanart #blackmade #wemaketoo #craftmom #africantextiles #brooklyncraft #fiberartists #artdolls #coilygirls (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6a00Dal_QJ/?igshid=1vmb37lwlvmev

I am finally happy to share that Shop Volta has been chosen to showcase my handcrafted dolls at the 40th Annual Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington, DC. Since 2017, I have been making my dolls and as an artist and businesswoman, to be recognized and accepted at such a prestigious event is an honor. I will be sharing more details as we get closer to the date.

Love and Peace
