In West Virginia, Mothman (who is sort of the Appalachian Bigfoot) was first spotted in the mid 60’s. Random sightings resulted in several myths about the creature and eventually his very own festival that takes place every September in Point Pleasant, WV, where he also has a museum in his honor. Still not sure if he’s real? Our string Mothman reminds you to trust your instincts - when you get that funny feeling about something, listen to your gut!
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.
