Beaded Decade Dolls

by Robin Atk

These beaded dolls are a visual autobiography. They tell the story of my life, decade by decade, with beads. Together they form a line of flat dolls joined together at arms and skirt, like a string of cut-out paper dolls that I made in my youth. Each has a little pocket on the back side which contains a small booklet documenting some of the events if the decade in writing.
