Well I laugh at myself when I see these pictures because well all I can say is I tried LOL to get my head thoughts on this Santos
I am an artist only in my head I have such wonderful ideas however just can't produce them in actions
I still need to add something to her hands. I had a star and will work on it to get it glued or attached somehow
pictures in progress
I started with an old Victorian calender from 1995 to make her top and skirt
I took March and cut out her top and skirt and then the reverse side with numbers for her wings which I think need to be larger . I did try to darken her skin and couldn't find any paint or stain so used Old English which doesn't have her a good rich dark patina she needs to be
I used Mod podge glue to stick her top to her and of course had to add some glitter to her skirt
It was fun laughing all the time and thinking well this keeps me busy with something to do anyway. Also a peak in my messy studio
I still want something else on her shirt and a star in her crown. I hung a black rosary and a cross necklace around her neck
I had a different crown I was going to use it was an old kerosene lamp piece however the jeweled one fit her much better . I was going to cut the lamp piece down and then glitter it up
Better
OK Now I think i'm done with all the extra things like the star in her crown and a huge snowflake around her neck
She may get a different look altogether after I find my paint looks like she has freckles in the above picture LOL
Here she is completed
If you didn't read my last post I started with this a prairie girl from goodwill
I usually like maybe 3 picture however I had to show ever step in playing with my new santos doll
