It&#8217;s a path full of lessons, surprises and play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I created this website as a platform to share the dolls I make and to facilitate sales and exchanges (I am open to barters!). Every order enables me to spend more time growing plants, foraging, crafting and just generally doing what I love, which is something that I deeply appreciate and wish to honor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or special requests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this, may your roots grow deep,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evan<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plant Folk Dolls is a passion project and labour of love that helps me connect to the joys of animism, folklore and wildcrafting.
