Introducing one of the mermaid designs from my new Macramé Affirmation Doll Collection - "Soft Life".
This series also includes other doll types like fairies, nature lovers, and more 🧚♂️ .
I decided to include dolls as a Boho & Knots offering to help represent and amplify the beauty of physical & cultural diversity, but also the beautiful ways neurodiversity shows up and influences us daily.
Our divergent sensibilities, which are more related to how we experience and sense ourselves and the world around us, are sometimes difficult to explain, understand, or accept.
That's why references like "mermaid" archetype are often used to describe people who seem to in how they show up in life.
But what if I told you the mermaids in our society & social groups (who are essentially the "black sheeps") are those who can access a more broad range (spectrum) of senses that allows people (and other living things) to discover ways that help them experience more inner joy, peace, and wellness in their daily "be-ing"?
What if I told you the mermaids, and all related archetypes, teach us that embracing our sense of neurodiversity helps us expand and enhance our lived experience because doing so means we've given ourselves permission to be and show up whole - as we sense ourselves to be.
These Macramé Affirmation Dolls are designed to serve as reminders of this truth.
The dolls serve to help amplify the gifts found in the spectrum of our neurodiversity and how these gifts will enhance our sense of wellbeing as they signal what people, places, and things resonates most with our wholeness.
While life isn't always blissful, we can explore ways to sense more joy, beauty, softness.
Like the mermaids do. 🧜♀️
