For awhile now I’ve been thinking that my shrine needs some animals. Of all the historical examples I have I think the Kalkar goat is by far my favorite so it’s the one I chose to start with. I had to think on it very hard because there are no patterns or instructions for completing the shrine animals and I wasn’t able to handle or dissect any of the original ones. I could clearly see that there was some wire base in at least the legs and they look to be wrapped in what I take to be lengths of fringy fabric. To me it looks like very short tassel skirting and that would make sense because tassels are in the same artistic group as the rest of the flower construction. Using a vellum base would also make sense given what I know about the rest of the items in the shrines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
