Attaching Your Earthshard Faces: A Free Mini-Lesson

I am so grateful to have sold thousands of my Earthshard Faces all over the world to Spirit Doll makers and other inspired artisans. Perhaps you have made a spirit doll using one of them. This lesson is designed to give you easy, effective ways to attach those faces to your creations whether they are flat or three dimensional. You can use these techniques with any small, concave faces - they certainly don't have to be the ones I make for my Etsy Shop (www.etsy.com/shop/EarthShards). You can make your own faces using air-dry clay and flexible molds and do the same things. And you can use the same ideas to attach other kinds of objects to various surfaces.

Spirit & Form: Creating Vessels of Passage and Purpose

Spirit & Form: Creating Vessels of Passage and Purpose is a richly layered mixed-media workshop that invites you to explore the vessel as a metaphor for memory, transformation, and the stories we carry. Using tied cane and mulberry paper as the structural foundation, you’ll craft sculptural boats and vessels imbued with personal meaning. Along the way, you'll incorporate beeswax, rust, found objects, clay, and wire—materials chosen not only for their texture and form but for their resonance with the themes of holding, passage, and spirit. Whether you're new to mixed media or a seasoned maker, this course offers an intuitive, soul-nourishing approach to both materials and metaphor.
