    Read excerpt

    Little did I know that finally dressing the ancestral doll that I made a few years ago, I would liberate a latent desire to sew and make fiber arts. Sewing my doll a dress out of Indian fabric that I’d carried with me for decades brought her alive in a way I could never imagine. My Assamese ancestors come from a culture where every home had a loom and silk weaving is integral to the culture. My own mother spent every evening sewing, knitting and crafting. As my doll came alive so did a strong de

    Transitions in life are not supposed to be quick, easy and painless because they are initiations. They are intended for growth and maturation. Take the young tribal boy who goes into the wilderness with older men and must undergo trials and tribulations in order to grow into his manhood.
