About Me
Bright Blessings! I'm Kelli, an unschooling mom of these three beauties
Rhanna (11.5), Thane (6.5), and Emrys (2.5)
We live in California, up in the high Sierras where the air is fresh and clean
In college I was an English major, and in graduate school I focused on Arthurian literature. I've been walking on the path of the Goddess since 1987, and I've loved making Goddess art ever since. I started with ceramics and sculpture, but I found quilting about 11 years ago and was introduced to dollmaking 6-7 years ago. Blending artwork with spirituality was a natural pairing for me, and my children are (obviously) so very important to me that I wanted to make it all very accessible to them.
The night I had the inspiration for the Goddess dolls, I had a vision of young girls carrying their favorite Goddesses with them to the grocery store while accompanying their mamas on errands. This idea that our spirituality can be a part of our everyday lives is an important one for me, a theme I find re-occuring in my life in events like childbirth, which is both miraculous and mundane at the same time. So while the dolls were originally intended for children, it was women who wanted to see more, and the whole adventure has just unfolded from there!
Other issues of major importance to me and my family are homebirthing (specifically unassisted homebirthing), homeschooling (specifically unschooling), attachment parenting, children's rights, and putting family first.
