flip dolls

i have been wanting to make a flip doll for a long time. i wanted to make the doll represent the 7 deadly sins and the 7 virtues. i put together a few prototypes, made of cloth. then i decided if i really wanted the contrast of sins and virtues, i needed to go over the top. one side is made papier mache and the other is made of cloth.

something new for me...working BIG. this piece is about 4 feet square. had a great time cutting corrugated cardboard with a utility knife and shaping and re-shaping the face.
