Ellie makes sure that your memory is as good as an elephant's. Kamibashi donates $ .50 from the sale of each doll to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). OUR STRING DO LL ARTISTS are based in small villages in the mountains outside of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Crafting String Dolls is the main occupation for most of our artisans, which means a reliable income and improved living standards for their families and communities in their economically developing regions. When they are not making string dolls, many of our workers spend time taking care of their families and tending to their vegetable gardens for self-sufficiency. Some have other jobs such as sewing or working in shops and restaurants. Show more
