I hold the doll in one hand and wind a cord

aroundand around the doll with the other.

The trick is to maintain the right amount of tension

tokeep the cord from slipping off.

It is a bit of a game.

It always takes me multiple tries to get it right.

To completely cover her body with string 

takesconcentration and coordination.

It is impossible to multi-task.

While I am doing this

I lose sense of time and

gravitydisapears.

To "mummify" Barbie in this way

ismeditation.
