"Our Lady of Letters" is her name, I sure can use a patron saint to help me spell.
I dug into my stash of fabric and found some with text to hang on her, the rest I stamped on to get the look I wanted. I had first covered the frame with old text and aged it bit, if you look close it is from a book by Mark Twain.
I made her a crown from calligraphy nibs and on her skirt band hangs old type writer keys. She wears an X and an O around her neck for a hug and a kiss, after all don't we want our saints to love us?
I can't stop making them, I just love the way they look ! You will be seeing more.

What a gorgeous trio of ladies! OH MY GOSH - you're a whirling dervish of Santos creativity. (And I get to be your friend!)
I am captivated by your santos. I made one out of plaster and am going to make more. I am a sculpey girl too. I first read about yours on Paulette's blog. Do you need any more "friends" on your next play day? My voice is temporarily on vacation so I would be really quiet. ;-D
ps I can't believe it but the word verificatiion is 'bless'.
She is absolutely fabulous! Congrats on teaching her. As a calligrapher, I am partial to anything with letter, words and OMG...nibs!
Ok - NOW I am excited about Hampton! Looking forward to taking your class :-)))
