She wears a red cloak and hood over the basic cloth underskirt. Her hands are of felt sewed over wire frames and fixed to cuffs of cardboard which have been sewed and glued to the sleeves of the underskirt. Her head is made of quick papier-mache. Quick Papier-Mdche A quick papier-mache head can be made at one sitting of
an hour or so, dried overnight and painted the second day. Papier-mache is cheap, takes paint well and is pretty durable. Its flexibility is an advantage. A plaster or plastic wood head, when banged sharply, might break; a papier-mache head will only dent and can be repaired. But it does dent easily, whereas it takes quite a crack to break a plastic wood head. |
