Alex the Fifth has surgery
Jun. 17th, 2014 09:23 pm Alex V, my jig doll, had open heart surgery after Wimborne Minster folk festival.
Here he is, complete with hole in his chest, dancing on a planchette. (I'm still getting the hang of playing the concertina and dancing the doll at the same time, so the music is a bit ragged...
He's also having a new jacket made. The old jacket impeded the swing of his arms too much, so I'm making a slightly slimmer one and will try and have as few tatters under his arm as possible.
