(editor's letter)
thanks everyone for the positive compliments on the first issue. i have really enjoyed all of the jokes, suggestions and reading the profiles - what an interesting group! some sections you see are empty, but in future issues will become regular features.

primitive ponderings
questions asked by readers, then replied upon in later issues.
* our first question is from rosemary s. she wants to know if... "primitives are limited to the pancake tea-dyed characters?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
** i am asking question #2... "what is the most interesting thing that you have seen on a primitive doll as either an accessory or part of the body or clothing?"
i will start the discussion by saying that the most creative thing i have seen is a halloween doll who had a pumpkin head made from the cinnamon cut out mix. it looked just like a pumpkin with groves and the face was "cut out" by making little triangles for the nose & eyes with little squares for a mouth. the mouth, nose & eyes were then painted black. her legs and arms were pieces of curly dried vine.
