Testimonials:
When I saw Mother of the Blue Moon, I knew I had to have her. This artistic expression by Lynn Hughes makes me feel like dancing to the moon and to the sacredness of all life.
-Marina Raye, The Feminine Voice of the Native Flute
It has been at least two years since I started looking for a special gift for a special friend. It was to be a doll, but it had to be unique. Another friend had a beautiful doll in her living room--I could hardly take my eyes from her. So I got the information about the artist and emailed Tom and Lynn Hughes of Earth Spirit Designs. What I wanted to do was to send Lynn a photo of my friend to see if she could divine a doll from the photo. My request was answered with not only a unique and quite beautiful doll, but the doll's face is very close to the photo. I am very excited and look forward to her arrival in Tuscon. My only regret is that I won't be there to see that package opened.

I have been a collector of Lynn Hughes’ Spirit Women for several years.
The Spirit Women created by Lynn Hughes are fascinating, enchanting and exude the powerful and positive energies of Mother Earth.
Lynn has drawn on her deep connection with nature and Mother Earth in creating her beautiful, one of a kind, hand-made pieces. I became a collector several years ago and am proud to say I have one of her first Spirit Women along with eight other Sisters. Lynn also created a special felted piece incorporating hair from my dearly departed and long-time pet and companion, my Chow, Lionel Dillon. Ms. Hughes truly captured the essence of Lionel’s spirit and has given me the gift of his eternal presence.
A Lynn Hughes creation will bring positive energy as well as enduring beauty into your life as your honor our Mother, the Earth.

Lynn's "beings" bring me joy and connection to my deeper Self. A powerful wisdom woman--her hands in joy and power raised above her head, a snake skin around her neck--has lived in my therapy room for several years. She almost always has a positive impact on me when I see her. I have given three dolls to my close friends and to a friend of my daughter (20). It was incredibly fun and satisfying to find the spirit of the doll that felt like the spirit of my friends, a blithe spirit for Ali, a thoughtful woman for Mary, a passionate dancer for Karen. Each doll is as individual as we are and most delight some part of me. The beauty and feel of the material (fabric, twigs, shells) can't be fully experienced until you are physically present but their spirit comes through even in a picture. I hope you find one that speaks to you. As I write this I realize I need a new "woman or girl" spirit creation in my life.
