Tissue-paper ladies of this kind could stand alone.
A TISSUE-PAPER LADY
Humpty-Dumpty
HUMPTY-DUMPTY was made from an empty egg shell. First, holes were carefully picked in the shell and the egg blown out. Then the face and cap were drawn in ink on the shell.
Wires covered with dark tissue paper were then put through the holes and bent into shape for arms and legs.
If light-weight hair pins are used, two or three may be twisted together for legs and spread at the ends to form feet. These dolls can stand alone.
