Macrame Affirmation Dolls™ (Affirmation Dolls™) are tactile, hand-crafted, textured dolls made with eco-conscious materials and diversity in mind. These dolls are designed and intended to support mindfulness, emotional regulation, and sensory integration.
Each doll carries affirmations and textures of carefully woven knots that offer users and viewers an initiation to explore a new way to reconnect themselves, their families, their communities.
as well as their ancestors, their spiritual or religious beliefs,
and their divergent sensibilities.
Storytelling and Wellness
Our dolls are made with a blend of textures, fibers, and hues to support personal, family, and community wellness. They are also crafted to be tools and supports for tactile, layered, and visual storytelling. Especially in cases where words to express
the story may not always be accessible.
Each knot, strand of thread, and colour used selected to design and assemble the dolls carries intention. Similarly to all the other materials used to support the construction.
These dolls serve as a gentle, culturally responsive, and
trauma-informed way to explore resilience, grounding, and
self-expression. All dolls include some element of nature to help users and viewers to connect more with nature; especially
the natural elements that resonate with their sensibilities.
These signature dolls include our collection called
'Diversity Threads'.
