Image: Aida Dalati illustration for Umayyad Syrian Dynasty motif. A Handmade Aida and Tulip doll passes through many hands before she is ready for her debut. Her face and limbs are made of organic materials and “she”  begins the voyage out of Oregon. Afterwards she arrives at Aida Dalati Atelier in Menlo Park where each face is drawn free style to insure individuality and afterwards the lips and eyes are embroidered. I love embroidering the eyes followed by the lips because only then can the team over in New York dress her.
