Download or read book Small Spirits written by Mary Jane Lenz and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of Native American dolls - from prehistoric ceramic figures to striking contemporary creations by Inuit and Pueblo artists - fill the pages of Small Spirits. These miniature forms have played rich and diverse roles in indigenous cultures from antiquity to the present, serving as toys and learning tools for children, sacred and magical figurines, props and performers in drama and dance, and in recent years, as items manufactured for sale. Some dolls today are created as artworks and coveted by collectors. Full-color images portray the beauty and craftsmanship of the dolls - among the most enchanting objects in the National Museum of the American Indians's vast collections - in Small Spirits. Each doll, from the simplest toy made of sticks and cloth scraps to the exquisitely dressed replica of a woman in her finest regalia, offers a glimpse into a particular cultural world, like that of the Navajo, Cree, or Tapirape - and into the mind of an individual maker, perhaps a grandmother reflecting on the past, a child fashioning a plaything, or an artist creating a gallery piece. The great variety of form and materials - such as walrus tusk ivory, cornhusks, and beeswax embellished with the brilliantly colored feathers of tropical birds - reflects the vibrancy and range of Native American lifeways.

Find out why the real Annabelle is much, much more frightening. * Peggy, the Internet sensation. Why you should think twice before looking at her picture. * Find out which doll started as a hoax, turned into a terrifying reality, and is now considered one of the most "active" haunted dolls in the world. * Discover which exotic locale and tourist attraction is a pediophobe’s biggest nightmare. You won’t believe such a place exists. * Clown dolls. Need more be said?

Download or read book My Crochet Doll written by Isabelle Kessedjian and published by David and Charles. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make adorable crochet dolls with over fifty unique patterns for clothes and accessories.

There’s a range of dressing-up costumes, with an adorable bear suit and a fun superhero mask and cape. The cute mini suitcase pattern is the perfect for storing all of your dolls belongings and it doubles up as a bed too! Be aware that crochet terms in the United States are different from those in the U.K. This can be confusing as the same terms are used to refer to different stitches under each system. All crochet patterns in this book are written in U.K. and European terms. U.S. crocheters must take care that they work the correct stitches. One way to tell which system is being used in other patterns is that the American system starts with a single crochet, which the U.K. system doesn't have; so patterns with “sc” in them can be identified as American patterns.

Download or read book Activating the Past written by Andrew Apter and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activating the Past explores critical historical events and transformations associated with embodied memories in the Black Atlantic world. The assembled case-studies disclose hidden historical references to local and regional encounters with Atlantic modernity, focusing on religious festivals that represent political and economic relationships in “fetishized” forms of power and value. Although memories of the slave trade are rarely acknowledged in West Africa and the Americas, they have retreated, so to speak, within ritual associations as restricted, repressed, even secret histories that are activated during public festivals and through different styles of spirit possession. In West Africa, our focus on selected port cities along the coast extends into the hinterlands, where slave raiding occurred but is poorly documented and rarely acknowledged. In the Caribbean, regional contrasts between coastal and hinterland communities relate figures of the jíbaro, the indio and the caboclo to their ritual representations in Santería, Vodou, and Candomblé. Highlighting the spatial association of memories with shrines and the ritual “condensation” of regional geographies, we locate local spirits and domestic terrains within co-extensive Atlantic horizons. The volume brings together leading scholars of the African Diaspora who not only explore these ritual archives for significant echoes of the past, but also illuminate a subaltern historiography embedded within Atlantic cultural systems.
Download or read book Haunted Harold written by Anthony Quinata and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did such an innocent looking doll become the source of terror around the world? "It's not a real doll, mummy. It wants you to think it's a girl's doll, but it's not. It has a black heart." "Vincent" A victim of Harold's attacks 2014-2015 What is the truth behind this seemingly harmless doll? Is it haunted? Is it cursed? Possessed? Or are the stories about it nothing more than a hoax? After winning the doll on eBay in 2004, Anthony Quinata decided to search for the answer to these questions. Starting from scratch, he described it as a "1,000 piece puzzle with 1,000 pieces missing and no picture to go on." In 2005, convinced that something diabolical was going on with the doll, he took it out of the public eye, hiding it in a storage unit. In 2013, realizing that interest in the doll was still high, he decided to resume his investigation, and his quest to find the truth; no matter where it led him. Determined to separate fact from fiction, his search ultimately led him to a confrontation with Evil itself and the discovery of who really owns the doll. "Extremely creepy and unsettling. If you believe in the paranormal, this frightening account is well documented and presented. If you don't believe or are skeptical, it's still an enjoyable book that is likely to unnerve you." Fiona Dodwell Author of Obsessed and Nails." Contains more than 20 pictures, rarely, or never been seen, in public!
