When about to put this dolly's head through a hole on the fragment of lace cloth (the starting point of the costume) I thought of the artist Mirka Mora. Many years ago I attended a workshop and spent some time with her,. Her hair was greying at the time, dark eyes and ruby lips. She expressed herself lots of cheeky smiles and giggles and had wicked sense of humour. This dolly with flowing grey hair ( of old darning wool) and flowing dress for me has a spirit like that of the Mirka I remember.
