Like last week, when Lucinda and I made a newspaper-fabric-glue sculpture at the Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Hall. This free children's museum near Shibuya station devotes an entire floor to arts and crafts, and Lucinda eyes these sculptures every time we go there.
When she had a day off from school, we made one. She selected this doll as her model and we crushed newspaper to make a body and a head, then attached them with scotch tape.
The children's hall assistant provides a dish of glue and a wet facecloth to wipe our hands (in Japan, everyone helps you stay clean!). Lucinda selected squares of fabric from the supply table, and we started by glueing on the face and skirt.
Then on to the rest of the dress, sleeves and hair.
We topped it with a blue velvet hat to cover the pieces of hair - and Lucinda loved it!
