Using white glue, I re-did this frame to get a weathered, crackled look. The top pic shows a close-up. Underneath is the Tiny Tim framed picture with its "new" frame. Tiny Tim came from a flea market purchase years ago; it still appeals to me, although it is cut from something like a magazine, very thin paper.
Above is a picture (from Oct. or early Nov.) of a cloth and clay doll I just couldn't like. I'd already done the clay over the cloth head, but the body shape (and I really had an idea in mind for this) just wouldn't work the way I wanted.
The other day, I decided to finish her as a Winter Fairy. I liked her much better painted and dressed, so I added a halo and put her at the top of the tree. Her dress is from a woven metallic napkin from Pier One several years ago. I knew those napkins, which were purely decorative and not for real use, would come in handy some day.
Today, I'm really going to finish the sachets. Yes?
Love her!
ReplyDeleteShe's WONDERFUL! Perfect for the tree =-) You know I love her hair...
ReplyDeleteGerrie - Thanks! She surprised me!
ReplyDeleteDebby - :) Yeah, I knew you'd love her hair! I tried white roving (which did look Wintery) and black fringe, but the orangey/brown seemed like the ticket!
Wishing you and yours a Wonderful, Happy Christmas Season filled with love and memories!!
ReplyDeletep.s. Love Laddie's hat-aren't those treasures the best!
Thanks, SueSue! Yes, some treasures are so wrapped up in memories!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the Winter Fairy. She looks fab on top of the tree.
ReplyDeleteI think she turned out marvelous! She's the perfect tree topper! Have a wonderful, amazing New Year!
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Robin
