Subject: RE: Jig Doll Thread Censored
it looks like Hannah James has Jig Doll project underway ~ no doubt because of her clog dancing?
Pat Pickles (with Rennie) did a great deal of research and had large collection of dancing dolls ~ Rennie died some years ago and Pat fairly recently ~ they had a published book too
Ray
Jig dolls were fairly common place with buskers of old, not seen anything recently
Jim Eldon has dancing doll type "puppet" he uses!
