For this Moon, I took a break from designing oracles and took a commission for a shaman’s doll – this Tibetan Snow Lion, with blanket, iron bells and tent stakes, and shaman’s mirror. I enjoyed making him so much that I want to make another lion, but I’ll probably take my time about finishing that one, and get back to other projects.

I particularly like the way you’ve embroidered the nose pad, it very much fits the theme.
The patience you must have to do the manes on these dolls is staggering. I know it would defeat me and I’d run screaming from the room.
I’ve just understood what’s the purpose of dolls.
