Nearby, we found another company that offers a similar concept, but with very different design. Bonecas do Brasil was founded in 2002, when designer Stela Freire switched from making fabric dolls to creating figures from caba a. While JuBrazil’s dolls are colorful and fantastical, Bonecas produces nine lines of anthropomorphic (if somewhat stylized) caba a dolls. Each of the lines has its own name and its own shape, corresponding to the growth of the caba a they’re made of.
For instance, the Carolas are made from caba a with long stalks and wide, spherical bottoms. On the other hand, Carmen and S o Francisco dolls use gourds that are shaped like elongated ovals.
