Armless, Angelic Santos!

It's always exciting (in my little world) when one of my
dolls turns the corner... and really "becomes" the personality 
it was meant to portray.  Well, it seems late into the evening 
last night... with the addition of paper "feathers" and some color 
 on his wings, a hastily painted red skull cap, a hand dyed crushed tulle
sash to match the paint on his wooden cage skirt and wings, and then 
a rusted heart and metal breastplate... he turned that corner! 
His arms?  I just removed them today to add extra paper clay 
and "beef 'em up" a bit.  Tsk! Tsk! Daryle
