The Mayan princess Ixmucane received a gift from the sun god, making her able to solve any persons problem. Later, people began creating dolls with whom theyd share their problems.
Almost all of us who craft worry dolls are women. This allows us to work from home so we can look after our children, check over their homework and make sure they eat well. This work has unified us as a family. It has given us group goals to meet and the opportunity to exhibit our work.
