EAGLE KACHINA DOLL
Dolls of this type are not found in many of the western trading posts, and where you do find one it will have quite a price tacked to it.
To make this one, which is about eight inches high, you’ll need for the body a soft wood block about 2½ by 3 by 8 inches in dimensions. By enlarging with squares, the sizes of the various parts can be ascertained. The wings should be of thin wood, preferably ³/₃₂ inch thick. If a quick-drying glue is used, such as Elmer’s Glue-all, no brads are required. I like to use glue rather than cement, because water color paints will stick to places where glue appears, but will not stick to cement.
These dolls are sometimes glued to a base of some sort, and so make beautiful lamp bases. However, when used for that purpose, the doll is not drilled for wiring. Instead a piece of ⅜-inch brass tubing is used, bent as shown in the small sketch in the lower left-hand corner. Of course, a suitable shade should be made, one with a Pueblo Indian design.
