It's Time for Another Giveaway!

Today, I am very pleased to offer you another giveaway!   Jennifer Rizzo is teaching a new online course on how to assemble, sculpt, and paint Santos dolls.  She has graciously offered a free spot in her course to one of you!  The course begins May 27, but the course videos can be watched anytime over and over up to a year later!  It looks like a ton of fun!  Can't wait!




If you would like to go ahead and register for your own spot in the class, head on over to Jennifer's blog *Here* for more information on how to do so.  I have included some details about the course below taken right from her blog.


It's about creating serene, rustic beauty from paper,clay and wood: The art of hand-sculpting and assembling Santos Cage dolls and other art dolls
Santos Cage dolls have gained popularity over the last few years.
They have a serene, rustic beauty and sometimes almost eerie quality that has transformed them from use as religious icons in the 17th and 18th centuries to beautiful works of art.
Each doll has it’s own personality and as you sculpt and create you will see your own style and beauty develop.
In this class, You will learn to make three different versions of Cage dolls.
You will learn techniques in assembling armature, sculpting and painting faces, and using unconventional materials to make beautiful figural dolls.

Some kits and supplies will be available in my shop (more information coming soon)
