Doll making in Oaxaca

Rogene is a great teacher and this year had us all sewing, stuffing, painting, and using paper clay to make dolls. They all had so much personality - - many of them with that bit of a spanish princess influence in their austere black garb. And then there was Jeannie's decidedly not Spanish princess -

It started out tame enough with just a hint of feathers. I think this is what Jeannie left with and then she went home and finished it up -

Word on the street is that more dolls are on their way from Jeannie!
