Don’t bottle up your feelings

…unless you’re bottling them up in a homemade babushka doll set.

The birth of this idea came from my experience of grief. It was the first time I properly experienced it and I was taken aback by the shit show of emotions and how unhinged one can feel (…just me?).

This got me thinking about the five stages of grief, which is a pretty rigid path to peace in my opinion. However I liked the visual of having to work through an emotion in order to reach a place of normality. It got me thinking about different types of containers, physical, emotional and mental which lead me to the babushka dolls (or nesting dolls, whichever floats your boat.)

And so, my little dolls of grief were born.

Say hello!
