We made 28 dolls. Some parents helped their kids to make their dolls and they didn’t make their own. I finished some of them at home yesterday and they spent the day in the sun.
Sometimes the session was really busy full of kids and I couldn’t take any photos.
‘I liked doing the art with my children. They are my dream and they have their own dreams.’
‘A lovely initiative. I liked the feel of the dreams. It was good, fun and calm, thank you!’
‘We enjoyed making Sewey.’
‘We enjoyed making the dolls and putting in the dreams. It is lovely to think all the dolls working together. ‘
‘Wonderful experience, thanks for the great work, loved every part of it and would definitely make more dolls filled with dreams.’
‘I reminded my daughter that when she was little we had a soft bear doll that had a heart. We called it ‘Taupa- Taupa’ which is the sound of heartbeats in Basque language.’
‘We made three dolls- for Adam, Odi and Charlene. I finished all three for the twins. I meditated each one, one for me and one for each twin. I felt my heartbeat and the heartbeat of the twins flow into each doll so they will keep our three heartbeats forever.’
It was our 5th Fun Palace. It was an amazing experience as it has always been in the past years. I am grateful for our lovely makers, for Amie and Susannah for organising and opening the space for all of us, thank you so much!
