Susanne Wardlow "Yupik" Kachina Doll. About the Artist: Award-winning artist Suzanne Wardlow creates dolls that meticulously capture the ways of life in Yup'ik culture. Born in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1972, she has been making dolls since she was twenty-three. She spent her childhood in the Yup'ik village of Bethel and surrounding villages. Much of her summers were spent berry picking with her mother, who used this time to teach Suzanne the ways of the Yup'ik women, just as she had been taught by her own mother. Suzanne uses many of the skills she learned then to create her dolls today -- basket weaving, sewing, preparing grasses and skins, beading and, most important of all, patience. Size: 12"h x 7"W. Ships from Las Vegas, NV.
