Santos Doll
I was thrilled to receive a Santos doll kit from Catherine Moore recently - something new she's selling on her web site: Character Constructions. Here's how I finished her kit...
and this is how the Santos kit is sold...
The doll is just over 9" tall and 3" wide, and comes with a platform which you can use to stand her up. Since I've recently been into soldering, I decided to solder the lower portion of this doll. First I adhered some copper tape to the cage skirt and crown.
Next, I painted the head, bodice and arms...
The photo below shows the cage portion soldered. I did apply some tarnish to the silver to give it an aged look.
I used Catherine's Santos stamp and stamped the upper body - that made finishing the face really easy!
I painted the face with cheek, lip and eye colors. Afterwards I further embellished the Santos doll with rhinestones, vintage text and ribbon.
I just love Santos dolls and this was an especially quick and easy project when you have both the Santos stamps and the Santos kit. Thank you Catherine for creating such beautiful products!
