I just took it to the "next step" with a piece of art!
I'm "cheatin'..." a little here on this new Santos Cage Doll!
Here are a few "before and after" pics:
I was unhappy with the cage doll that I had been
working on; prior to my cancer diagnosis...
and so two days ago just tossed it! Yup! In the trash...
I found this reproduction vintage Santos (left) online
at Tuesday Morning, for a real deal of a price.
After removing the upper body... I did a bit of a "re-fit"
using my original cage doll skirt and wooden wings;

hence the "cheatin" heART!
I love it... the vintage patina I was able to achieve
with a bit of gesso, wood stain, and sanding
sure beats those boring gray slats of wood!
It's nice to be "back"... Daryle
