A Cage for the Santos!

Rough, eh?

Pay particular attention to the cracked rope trim, nail heads,

and the worn, splintered grain on the tobacco stakes...

(it's "the look" I'm going for!)

This is the first time I've designed a cage using an oval base.

For this Santos, I am envisioning a very old, vintage doll with

jointed wooden arms, well-worn painted surfaces, and lots of character.

I'm not sure the galvanized wire mesh "apron" behind the drop finial will stay... or be moved.
