Have you heard of Santos Dolls? You can read about the history, here. The name is taken from the Spanish word, Saint. The dolls flourished during the 1700s and 1800s.
I had never heard of them, until I signed up for the Creatively Made workshop. We will be making these dolls. I went to Hobby Lobby today and did not find the supplies I needed for this project. However, I am going to look online and see if I can find the supplies.
If you have made these before, I would love to hear from you or perhaps you can share a link with a photo. Once I have completed the project, I will post a photo.

I’d love to see the finished piece you make. After the holidays I was about to throw out an old shabby angel whose paperdress was too damaged to reclaim, but I decided to cut it up and save the porcelain head and hands, and plastic wings. Now you’ve given me an idea… thanks, Linda
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. I am glad you saved the angel parts so you can create something new.

Yes, definitely. I am glad you will be able to use your doll parts for another project. I am still working on week one of my online workshop. The dolls are being made in week three. I will post pictures once I am done. Thanks for stopping by.
