Dear Indian Quillers,
This month is special to all because of the festivals. To add joy to the celebration mood, our theme for this fortnightly contest is Dolls.
Dolls are the representative of the nation and are the confluence of its different ages, time and culture. The rich cultural heritage through the ages can be vividly depicted through these dolls. Religion, nature and human interaction have been the three basic inspiring forces for artists down the ages, although the medium of expression has diffused from stone and canvas to cloth and celluloid.
From ancient times, dolls of various types fascinated men, women and children all over the world. Children in particular have found great fun and delight in dolls, which also help them to develop their intellect and imagination.

A Small note on Indian Dolls(Source - Dolls of India)
The Indian people have a very special affection for dolls. They are part of a tradition Indians have grown up with. At one time dolls were given away as wedding presents to the child bride. Today, dolls provide not only a diversion, but also a colorful canvas for depicting Indian life in its plethora of cultural beauties.
Each region is known for its typical dolls and toys. Assam and West Bengal fashion toys out of pith. In the eastern terracotta belt, the theme of "mother and child" models, are popular. Varanasi, Lucknow, Mathura and Vrindavan are reputed for their brightly painted wooden dolls and toys, Tirupati for its dampati (man-woman) dolls. Rajasthan makes dolls of unbaked clay. In Madhubani, dolls are made of Sikkim, a grass. Kondapalli in Andhra Pradesh makes some of the traditional dolls and toys out of a mixture of cow dung, sawdust and clay and covers them with lustrous pigments.
I have made Paper quilled Tanjore Dancing Doll / Quilled Thanjavur thalayatti bommai for inspiration.
