| Description: | A PASTIME FOR EVE - NOVELTY DOLLS An unusual doll is made from wire and crepe paper. Instructions for making "one of these grotesquely fascinating dolls, so popular nowadays." United Kingdom MCU woman cutting folded crepe paper, unfolds it into long strip. She wraps crepe paper strips around long stiff cords. Fade to MS woman holding strange thing- -long skinny body with even longer and skinnier limbs. MCU woman wraps white crepe paper around a little bag or cushion, twists the ends. MCU woman paints face on this. Attaches head to weird body. MCU cutting more paper, cutting angular notches around the bottom of what is to be the doll's skirt. She twists the points of these petals around wire. MCU woman dresses doll, putting on layers of petal skirts. Fade to woman holding doll which is now truly a grotesque sight- -she is dressed in a skirt of so many of these layers that it looks like a flower, is also wearing a flower cap and flower petal things around her wrists. Her creator adds a bit of artificial leaves & berries pinned to doll's waist. CU doll. Weird. | |
