Mardi Gras Doll Craft Index

Just a few examples of Mardi Gras artifacts from my listing here: King of Carnival poster,

       Mardi Gras is a particular Feast Day that when translated from French to English means  "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual Lenten sacrifices and fasting of the Lenten season. The days of Carnival change every year because it is based upon the Moon Phase Calendar.
       Like Good Friday and Easter Sunday it is just one of many highlighted Holy Days celebrated by Orthodox Christians worldwide. While not observed nationally throughout the United States, a number of historically ethnically French cities and regions in the country have notable celebrations.

These American Cities Include: 

       Mardi Gras also refers to events of the Carnival celebration, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three Kings Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday, known as Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday and Pancake Day.

Traditions Observed During Mardi Gras/Carnival: January 6th Through Fat Tuesday:

  1. The Colors of Mardi Gras are gold, green and purple. - Each represents something important to the church: gold represents power, purple represents justice and green represents faith.
  2. Eating Pancakes Before Ash Wednesday - This tradition is done to consume all eggs, milk and butter before Ash Wednesday.
  3. Eating of "The King's Cake" - A hidden baby Jesus is traditionally hidden inside every cake. Whoever finds this tiny baby is expected by those eating the cake to purchases next year's cake.
  4. Queens and Kings of a Mardi Gras Parades - Royals are selected from every krewe or "social club" that hosts floats and balls, so there are many Kings and Queens in attendance at all the festivities!
  5. Riding Themed Floats During Parades - Floats are crafted many weeks in advance of parade dates and are stored in facilities called "float dens."
  6. Jazz Musicians - are celebrated, promoted and play at all kinds of public and private parties, parades and balls in the United States
  7. The Wearing of Masks - This tradition is kept to eliminate social distinctions among people; making people's identities secret and limited. All people riding on floats are required to wear Mardi Gras masks.
  8. Throwing of jewels (beads) and treasure - "Throws" are traditionally: chocolate gold coins, beads in Mardi Gras colors and various candies. These are 'thrown' from floats during the traditional Mardi-Gras parades.
  9. The Costume Balls - hosted and funded by krewes (secret clubs begin to host these on Twelfth Night all the way to Mardi Gras evening)
  10. Ash Wednesday - is the beginning of fasting before Easter Sunday by Christians worldwide. Some Christians attend services on Ash Wednesday and while they are there a minister will mark their forehead with the sign of the cross.
  11. The customary Krewes are social clubs that raise money and support local parades, parties and dances called balls during Mardi Gras festivities in their cities of origin.

       These 4 Mardi Gras Krewes from Dollville are open to any dolls/children who would love to participate in their make-believe club memberships. Each club hosts a parade float craft with throws, an annual social event during Mardi Gras week and members contribute to some kind of charity fundraiser.

   1. Krewe of Trinity Church School - This parade krewe organizes the annual parade through Dollville and proliferates many of the customary traditions of Mardi Gras events such as the appointment of the Mardi Gras King and Queen from their student doll population. They throw the traditional beads, candy and coins of Mardi Gras from their float. This krewe also hosts a "meet and greet pie and ice cream social'' at their school the evening before Mardi Gras.

   2. The Flap-Jack's Krewe - not only hosts the annual food pantry collection drives in Dollville. They also give a annual pancake breakfast fundraiser on Fat Tuesday morning to support the local families in need. 

  • Fat Tuesday pancake breakfast feast foods! sewn versions, clay pancake versions listed under artifacts below.
   3. Krewe of Crazy Hats - Is open to every doll and her or his child who would love to participate in the parade and then later, attend the annual Dollville Mardi Gras Ball! Where your loveliest formal attire and don't forget to craft a mask for the event too... 

   4. The Pet Pals Krewe - parades down main street in Dollville tossing throws to remind every doll that they support "no-kill'' shelters for homeless and lost pets. Remember to visit their local shelter to adopt a pet anytime of the year!

      Hispanic and Latino Heritage

      winning actress, dancer and singer Rita Moreno.
       
             "National Hispanic Heritage Month is a period from 15 September to 15 October in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. 
             Hispanic Heritage Month began as Hispanic Heritage Week. Hispanic Heritage Week was established by legislation sponsored by Rep. Edward R. Roybal of Los Angeles and was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968. In 1988, the commemorative week was expanded to a month (September 15 to October 15) by legislation sponsored by Rep. Esteban Edward Torres (D-Pico Rivera), amended by Senator Paul Simon and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. September 15 was chosen as the starting point for the commemoration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Hispanic countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, who all declared independence in 1821. In addition, Mexico, Chile, Belize and Puerto Rico celebrate their independence days on September 16, September 18, September 21, and September 23 respectively.
             Hispanic Heritage Week was first proclaimed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968 in Presidential proclamation 3869. Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan gave annual proclamations for Hispanic Heritage Week between 1969 and 1988. National Hispanic Heritage Month was first proclaimed by President George H. W. Bush on September 14, 1989 in Presidential Proclamation 6021. Since 1989, all Presidents have given a Presidential Proclamation to mark Hispanic Heritage Month." Wikipedia
