The reason why it would take an entire week to make was because the summer heat made it very difficult to sit outside and make the parts. Samirah had to stop every few minutes and wipe her sweat. Sometimes Kian would lean over and wipe her face with a towel or have someone deliver juice to keep everyone hydrated.
It wasn't an easy task to make the dolls. No wonder people but it!
The torso part did seem like the easiest until Samirah had to also carve out the clothes on it. Samirah was not bad at drawing but she wasn't very good either. She regretted the moment when she compared it to arts and crafts.
It was on a whole different level! What made it worse was that it had to look good. The goddess' doll had to resemble the goddess they worshiped at least seventy percent.
