hungarian doll project

Many thanks to the always wonderful reform school for featuring hungarian doll project as their student of the month in november. each doll is silkscreened on linen (3 colors: white, celery green, and natural linen) with embroidery and stitching. a tiny pocket on the back contains a story about the dolls:” when I was little, my mother and i would visit eda and kisha at their cool, dark house on a palm lined street in los angeles. many years before coming to america, these two sisters had lived in the same town in hungary as my grandparents. after every visit, eda would give me a beautiful doll, which she rescued from the doll hospital. each doll was different, but they were always richly dressed in hungarian folk costumes that eda made by hand.”
dolls are approx. 13″ tall. very limited edition of 25. you can order one here.
