Drawing inspired by Katsina Dolls seen in Museum Quai Branly
It’s interesting to watch how things turn out when you draw something from memory: yesterday’s Katsina-dolls (left) where drawn from memory, in the metro – I tried to reproduce images of what I had seen that day in the museum.
HEREUNDER are the drawings I made standing in front of the REAL dolls, exhibited behind glass in the Musée du Quai Branly. Wow, very different, don’t you think? I didn’t want to color them, as I haven’t taken notes about the REAL colors. I guess I have to go back to the exhibition and do that!

Drawing of puppets inspired by Katsina dolls in Museum Quai Branly
And these are three dolls I drew two or three days after my visit of the exhibition, letting my mind go free, just taking the Katsina dolls as an inspiration. Funny how more European those look:)
Wow, the dolls are so great, have so enjoyed your posts!
the black and white drawings are very detailed and intriguing. here I have seen them written Katchina dolls (I think) we have had so much rain that there is a lot of flooding and roads washed out.
Hi Andrea, didyou know that there is nothing to click on to see see the your dolls. Noticed yesterday but left it as thought it might alter, were it says ‘click here’ nothing happens.
Love your dolls you did without looking at them. Very colorful and fun.
