Shahzadi   SOLD  Some say Belly Dance is just a fad...But I know better, and I'm so glad...I found this type of self expression    When I dance I make quite an impression. Using jewels and veils to enhance...Peeking out with a flirty glance I twirl, I sway, I undulate. With graceful moves, it feels so great.  My dance fulfills my daydream wishes....then it's back to laundry and dirty dishes!!!!! Shahzadi is 16 inches of curvaceous fun!  Sculpted in nylon knit, with painted face in pen and acrylic, and long flowing red curls.  Her costume is made of purple lace, chiffon and sequins with red accent in her belt, necklace and dangling sequin earrings.

San Pascual Baylon  "The Kitchen Saint" I found a sketch of him in a Spanish cookbook and with research found he is the patron saint of cooks, especially New Mexican cooking, the kitchen, and domestic animals (finding lost animals).  He was a lay Franciscan who happily worked in the kitchen.  He is depicted in the kitchen surrounded by dishes, food and cooking implements, and is usually accompanied by the kitchen cat.  My version is 8" with nylon sculpted face and hands, mounted on a 12" wood plack.  He holds a wood spoon in one hand and a pot in the other (some are metal, others pottery), and is surrounded by chili peppers, a bag of frijoles and of course the cat.  The story of San Pascual is also included & hung by strands of rafia for easy removal for reading.   $48.00 Doll San P.

	Priscilla $38.00 Doll Priss Priscilla is her name but they call her Prissy, a misnomer if ever there was one.  Quite contrary this little missy, even when mischievous she's lots of fun.  Part tomboy, part woman, not adult, not child....coquetish, playful, and sometimes wild.  Sh dresses in t shirts and cut off jeans....the perfect outfit for all teenage queens!   Prissy is 24" long, made of muslin,with printed cotton for her legs,  which are tie jointed so she can assume several positions.  Her cotton sneakers have matching laces and her wild hairdo is made of yarn.  Her sculpted face it painted with pen and acrylic.
