The Cloth "Paper" Doll - Lillian Alberti

     This fancy “Can-Can” dancer looks ready to leap into action.  When she does, take a peek at what she’s concealing under her petticoats!  Lillian will provide you with step by step guidance on making this doll and her display stand.  The doll is made of cloth and of paper with a build up of paper clay on the face to giver her a three dimensional quality.  The joints are actually metal brads which add a "cool" element to this multi media project. This Paper Doll is also made of cloth which is an unusual twist to the traditional paper doll workshop.  The underskirt will be used as a canvas by each individual student.  Paint an interpretation of a whimsical image you what to be hidden under the skirt.  If your painting skills are not intermediate to advance just paint a crescent moon shining down on a meadow, or other basic items you know how to paint such as flowers, designs or decorative paints.  For those that are skilled painters move onto more elaborate paintings depending on your personal painting skills. The dress is made of fabrics and trims that you have chosen to bring to the classroom. You are encouraged to express your own individual expressions!
