WELCOME
Welcome to the home of 
Barb Kobe's creative calling -
Designing visual metaphors 
for self-expression in the
 form of dolls, healing art, and 
creative, transformative
 educational experiences.


Zumi - Healing Spirit Guide

The Gifts you can receive from making dolls come in the form of play, self- awareness, exploring spirituality and receiving or giving healing.
  
On the surface the process requires time, inexpensive materials and curiosity.  
Under the surface it requires the need and desire to explore your very being.  
Begin the journey!  

Here is what people say about Barb:

This is a very special place that Barb has created to go deeply and be held by those on a similar journey at the same time. It is amazing what can be done on the Internet!  If you have found this group you are meant to be here".

                                        Val Olson, Minneapolis

"She is not only unique, but compassionate, funny and knows exactly how to make learning about yourself  a fun experience!"

"Her work is archetypal and inspiring as artwork for meditation and reflection too."

"The workshops I took with her were life transforming."

"She is great at encouraging others to trust and believe in themselves."         

"Her work is accessible, BEAUTIFUL and surprises viewers into their opening up and healing their own selves.

"I can trace the beginning of my own career as an artist back to the day I spent with Barb in 1994, where her intuition and creativity helped me see all the possibilities within me."

"If you have the opportunity, read through her site, she is a wealth of information and a kind, generous soul, who really helped me learn and 
love more about ME. "

Creative Journey Game - 
In Search of Your Heroine

This process is a way of identifying your journey, of seeing the ongoing threads, themes or patterns in your life trek. It permits you to see the linkage between events and people in a way that provides meaning about yourself and those in your life. This contributes to personal well-being, a greater sense of direction and meaning and a connection to a higher part of yourself.
 
Lots of NEW DOLLS
in Gallery


"Recently the definition of what a doll is has been scrutinized by western doll artists and collectors, whose criteria  are based only on aesthetic appeal. But others understand that a doll should not only follow the rules and concepts for what is pleasing to the eye, but that it should also have the ability to cure,  to instruct and even to protect."
