Cage
Skirt Santos Doll-Leslie Molen
Once
upon a time found in
Portugal
and
Spain
,
Santos
cage dolls were used in religious processions frequently dressed in
elaborate gowns and crowns. The cage skirt was traditionally used to
display photographs and flowers to represent celebrations.
In
this class you will create a doll with a wooden caged skirt and learn to
overlay fabric onto a face form and make a head back. The
upper cloth body will include an armature and jointed arms.
Leslie
will guide you as you design and create a unique corset and crown. The
assemblage of the wooden skirt is only part of what makes your Santos
Doll special.
You will incorporate your chosen theme into the cage skirt
all with the use of fabrics, paints, stamps and antiquing medium.
