I have a lil sack of Guatemalan worry dolls.

These dolls usually come in sets of 7. Before you sleep, you take one, tell him / her your worries, put under your pillow. The doll is supposed to work through the night while you sleep to take care of the worry. It's usually only one worry per doll, one doll per day, and try to use the same doll for each day of the week.

Losing one doll from a set usually voids the whole sack of dolls from the powers.

I don't know much else about them, but they're a pretty cool idea, methinks. A rasta fellow sold me the dolls, told me I should talk to them a lot, confide. Mine is the really basic type, colourful, made from beads, cardboard and funky thread and kept in a lil rasta looking woven bag. I can line up all 7 dolls on one side of my palm. I painted this in colour, but I think it looks better in sepia, so I changed it.

Print available! Yeahhhh
