The father of American literature, Mark Twain was always ready with a snappy line, one of which is that work is a necessary evil to be avoided. Who can argue with that? Surely not Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, the latter of which can also be found in string doll form! OUR STRING DOLL 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. WizardOfOz Show more
