Wow, Lovely. The story behind these dolls in Brasil is very strong and personally I am always motivated by it .ABAYOMI=PRECIOUS ENCOUNTER a word in the Nigerian YORUBA language that means 'he/she that brings joy' The story is as follows....when the Africans were being taken to the Americas to be sold as slaves, the women who had babies and small children would make these dolls in order to calm their children. They tore the hems of the garments they were wearing and made these dolls, sometimes the dolls were made by plaiting strips of fabric and forming them into a dolls using a slightly different technique. In Brazil(1988) this art form was made popular by a local Artist and militant Lena Martins. I also make these dolls and only found out about this beautiful story when I moved to Brasil 8 years ago. There is so much more to the story of the Abayomi doll but I just wanted to share a bit here. I love your creations. Blessings :)
My father is Yoruba. This is beautiful and so creative. Thank you for sharing. I am looking at something made by my own tribe and didn't even know. Yahweh bless you.
God bless you for this, I love that the Brazilian people keep alive African arts, craft, culture, food and music and proudly share it with the rest of the world. I subscribed and give you muito thumbs up!! muy besos. I wish I knew Portuguese so I could thank you in your language.
I made one of these at a Juneteenth festival a very long time ago when I was a girl. I made many and very much enjoyed the craft after that experience. I think it’s interesting that so many cultures have variants on these sorts of dolls. Where I’m from they’re known as pioneer dolls, but these have been known as handkerchief dolls, church dolls, poppets, ect. It’s so beautiful so many cultures share the same thing.
These dolls are adorable! They look easy to make, and look like a great way to use scrap fabrics. I will definitely be doing this project with my Girl Scouts! Thank you!
Você é brasileira? Sua produção é muito bonita, mas a boneca abayomi é um fazer marcado pela ancestralidade, há toda uma história que foi desconsiderada. Procure saber sobre a história contida neste simbolo belissimo da cultura africada, pois por tradição nossa, toda vez que ela é ensinada conta-se a origem deste fazer. Ass. Carla França (psicóloga e arteeducadora).
It's too bad you couldn't do it step by step so we can watch every little piece you do hard to watch when you're doing it so fast but after all the dolls are beautiful
