Lyubov Nazarova also studied the history of folk dolls and women's national Russian costumes. She created three female images and learned how to make amulets and author dolls. She began to thoroughly study different technologies of sewing, selecting patterns and materials. As a result, she developed her own unique style.

"The dolls are constant companion of man, the first among the toys. But the dolls were not just toys. We convey a system of values of popular culture through them. The outfit reflects aesthetic and spiritual significance. A talismanic doll keeps people from trouble, creates the right attitude, and helps them in their work. Such dolls, as a rule, are not marked in the face, so that bad forces did not come into it. An author's doll, on the contrary, is recognizable, it's a small piece of art, the hero with its own emotions and character"- the craftswoman says.
