Mama Muse a Whimsical and Vibrant Spirit Doll to Inspire the Creative Soul

There are times as artists that we take ourselves TOO seriously. The fearful side of our humanity can  interfere in our processes, tricking us into worrying about perfection instead of enjoying the journey. Mama Muse brings a much needed nurturing energy...an energy that suggests instead of worrying how others perceive your art - to focus on how it makes You feel.

She urges you to not think about the end result, the marketing and the sale, but to instead think of your art resonating with another's soul and it's contribution to the world. 

When Mama Muse is near she brings an infinite flow of creative energy, ideas atop ideas, of new works, new mediums, and inspiration to continually master your skills. 

Mama Muse is infused with every color of the rainbow and ideas that break through our societal divides. She carries the wisdom of the elders, and the exuberance of the youth. 

She inspires one to color OUTside of the lines, to mix stripes and polka dots, to wear purple in their hair, to leave the dishes until later, to explore, to be adventurous, to learn by doing, and to leave the inner critic at the door.

Mama Muse inspires us to create the world we wish to see.

The Pumpkin Queen - Royalty from the Pumpkin Patch

Be careful while out walking through the pumpkin patches, my friends, for Fall is here and the Pumpkin Queen is hurrying about in a very busy state. She must make sure that everything goes as planned, so so busy with all these holidays. It's not just Halloween that keeps her on the go, but Fall itself, Thanksgiving, and even Christmas. She is in charge of an entire Season and that's a lot of pressure on anyone. 

Thank goodness that the gnomes and faeries are here to help her, but still....she works from sun up and late into the night. Every leaf has to be just the right fabulous color and every pumpkin has to be plump and ripe. 

She is a kind queen, but at the same time - there will be no slacking off ! The humans rely on her to bring them this highly loved time of year. They have expectations and she will not let them down. 

When she walks down the rows of the pumpkin patches, inspecting each one, the squirrels and the birds all stand to attention for her. Two cardinals hold onto the train of her dress, filled with fall leaves that have latched on along the way. 

She won't have a rest until before Christmas, when olde Kris Kringle will take over duty. 

So be very mindful when out on those chilly afternoon walks, you just never know where she might be. You will know when she is nearby if you see Mother and Father Cardinal. If you see the cardinal couple, it usually means that the Pumpkin Queen is hiding out of sight, nearby. 

The Pumpkin Queen Folk Art Doll is listed in my Etsy Shop. She was created for adult collectors and not for children. She is designed as a Wall Hanger for easy display.

Solstice Earth Mama Cloth and Clay Art Doll

I realized a few years ago how much my body and spirit needed and relied on the Sun. I had moved to the Northwest for a short time. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I met fabulous people, loved the land, and am grateful that I had the chance to experience its loveliness, but I yearned for the Sun during those rainy winter months. 

 I realized that the Sun changes my outlook on life and inspires me every day. Even if I spend the entire day indoors, it's very presence shining softly through the window is enough to cheer my soul. 

 I created "Solstice" to honor the Sun and what it brings to Mother Earth and to  my life.

This Earth Mama Cloth and Clay art doll is simply a bundle of sunshine and positive love. She wears a small button pin that says "she most heartily enjoyed pursuing life", which does a perfect job at summing up her symbolism. The small gold dragonflies in her hair just whisper a magical smile.

Time To Fly - A Women's Empowerment Cloth and Clay Spirit Doll

Darling, It's Time To Fly. You have been waiting for so long to do things for yourself. Years have gone by while you have put everyone else's needs before your own. The lists of things you do each day and the endless responsibilities have left you with no time for you to explore your dreams.

Your inner child desires to come out and play. The painter, the dreamer, the dancer, the poet, the gardener, the artist, the singer...they are waiting to be expressed. If you wait too long, you will forget them and they will be lost. 

Do you remember those moments when you were a little girl? When you would run outside and dance wildly in the rain? When you would take a paintbrush and paint flowers on the walls because it made you smile? When you would sit under a tree and write poetry that came straight from your heart? When eating dinner could wait because you were deep in play?

Darling, It's Time To Fly. It's time to spread your wings and live your life for you. It's time to be whole again. It's time for You.

"Time to Fly" is a Cloth and Clay Contemporary Folk Art Spirit Doll by Jeanne Fry. 

She measures 16 inches in length and has a loop sewn on the back of her shoulders so that she can be displayed as a Wall Hanger.

The Arrival a Women's Empowerment Spirit Doll

The Arrival is one of my most popular spirit dolls, inspired from a poem that I wrote some years ago. 

The Arrival

"It took me all of my life to get to this moment...

This moment of surety in my being...

This moment of reliance in my capabilities..

This moment of loving who I am.

It took me all of my life...

To shed the feeling of inadequacy...

To shed the pressure of trying to measure up...

To shed the relenting voice that I had to do more to compensate.

It took me all of my life to get to this moment...

This moment of relief..

Relief from the thoughts that I had to do for everyone else first...

Relief from the oppressive weight that I was responsible for others..

And take responsibility for the gentle child that lived within.

It took me all of my life to arrive at this moment..

When instead of being the muse for them, I became the muse for ME...

Whispering ideas of inspiration into the many layers of my own soul..

It took me all of my life to arrive at this moment..

This moment when I am the cheerleader for myself...

When I carry an extraordinary pride of who I am and what I stand for..

When I share all the parts of me without fear.

It took me all of my life...

All of my life to arrive at this moment..

When my heart and voice have connected and are able to speak a graceful truth...

It took me all of my life to get here...

Right here at This Moment."

The Arrival Spirit Doll       

This creation has been one of my most popular, maybe because the inspiration behind her is something that so many of us women can relate to. No matter how alike or different we may be, that part of our Journey when we heal and reclaim our power seems almost universal. It's almost like a spiritual graduation when we shed those restrictive narratives and expectations that society placed on us, and  begin to consciously live our most authentic life. 

 Because there has been so much popularity of that first Arrival spirit doll, I continue to offer them as Made To Order. If you would like to learn more about collecting one for yourself or a sister friend, you can visit my website. Made To Order Arrival Art Doll 

While the basic original design of this Art Doll Wall Hanger is used, each one is OOAK (original one of a kind). Each face is an Original Sculpt of Clay, and each body shape is uniquely different. Collectors can have some input on their commissioned spirit doll - Color Choices, Gemstone and Bead preferences, Long or Short hairstyle options, or incorporated symbolism around an additional healing theme.
 Approximately two weeks are needed for the creating. Each Arrival Spirit Doll comes ready to hang as Wall Art, AND with a signed copy of the Arrival Poem that inspired it.


I fashioned this design to reflect the essence of the poem, focused on Women's Empowerment, the Spiritual Journey, and the value of Self Love.

My Art Dolls are all a part of my Wisdom Keeper Art Doll Collection. They are created for adult collectors and not as children's toys. They are meant to be Companions for the Woman's Spirit and intended for empowering and inspiring.

Each Arrival Spirit Doll is approximately 20-22 inches in height. A strong fancy ribbon loop is sewn at the back of their head in order to display as wall art. Their size and detail make them a statement piece, lending the beautiful energy of the Divine Feminine to any space. 

You can learn more about them on my website here
