To… play, make believe, explore, touch, learn, observe.

The Silk Route dolls are my interpretation of ancient characters who lived and worked along the eurasian network of trade routes which played a central role in facilitating economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between the East and West.

These dolls have been created as a way for their custodians to connect and imbue meaning and a sense of wonder within a world that sometimes forgets that we were all children once.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind with variations in pattern and colour, reflective of the handmade process. This is a zero waste product, all the materials have been up-cycled and hand dyed using natural dyes. The stuffing is 100% recycled PET plastic bottle polyfill.
