About the Wee Peeple Dolls

" It was a doll who showed me the way art comes- the way we are moved from within to express ourselves- how we reach out for whatever materials may be available to bring a vision to manifestation. "

-Kandra Niagra, Dollmaker

Changing Woman Stories

"Cycle their way Back" to the Dollmaker!

________________________

Fifteen Years ago at the Women's Conference in Houston the Theme was

Changing Woman.

At that Conference, the Dollmaker sold out of Changing Woman Dolls.

********************

This year a lot of those same women returned

for the International Women's Convocation

at the Hilton Hotel, once again in Houston.

And All weekend long...

Women sought out and found the Dollmaker so that they could tell her

stories about their 15-year-old

Changing Woman Dolls

and how these Dolls had changed their lives

for the better!

Wait. No, wait a minute.

How interesting that each of these (exceptionally intellegent, conscious, and worldly) Ladies who owned a Changing Woman Doll claimed that the Doll did it-

that the Doll changed her life...

now how could that be true!?

Certainly there are those who have come to expect a touch of the woo-woo from the Wee Peeple Dollmaker now and again... but...

Certainly those Dolls did not really do anything... it was the Women who changed their own lives.....

They got jobs, they got divorces, they bought homes, they travelled to faraway places... it was astonishing the things these women said just

"happened to them".

And, interestingly, in every case,

each of the Owners of these Changing Woman Dolls graciously gave their own Doll to another woman who needed good changes to happen in her life.

The Dollmaker was asked what she thought about this.

"These Dolls have a job to do,"

the Dollmaker commented.

"And I am glad to see they are doing it."
