Barnes spent the next six years poring over history books, calling various orders’ archivists and speaking to actual nuns. From this collective input, she created the nine outfits. She sewed them to fit dolls her daughters gave her for Mother’s Day. Later, Barnes’ moth er-in-law suggested she offer the en tire collection for display at the His torical Museum. The museum accepted and placed the dolls in its Changing Gallery. “I just thought the fact that her habits represent ed all the orders that were here in Eugene was very intrigu ing,” museum administra tive assistant Lori Rude said. Barnes said she was sur prised the mu seum was in terested in exhibiting her creations. “I didn’t. go about this to display it,” she said. “It was my own personal interest, and then other people seemed to be inter ested as well.” Barnes said the dolls are of in tense personal value, especially the habit representing the order of the Carmelite of Maria. The nun who supplied the fabric and helped her create it died in her sleep shortly before their last scheduled consultation. “This one is priceless to me,” Barnes said, noting that she will never remove the pins placed in the fabric by Sister Maria. “It’s just the way she wanted it.” Barnes said the hobby provides a tie to her 90-year-old mother, whom she takes care of at home. “It’s something that I could work on, and she enjoyed learning and knowing about it.” Most of all, Barnes said the ex hibit is about recognizing transformation. “I would like to have people ap preciate change and what has come before them in this city,” she said.
