Some people are freaked out by dolls, probably more so by bodyless ones!. but I think she's quite angelic. Vintage porcelain doll heads are hard to find so an everyday plastic one had to suffice. Covered in Mr Tim's crackle paint I don't think it looks too bad.
RSS had all the ingredients. Turquoise, black, white and silver. An angel, ribbon/lace, a heart and wood. Throw them all together and what do you get........................ a shrine, one of my favourite things to make!
The wings are Mr Tim's new die covered in crackle paint, coloured with Adirondack colour wash in Stream................... and then Doodlebug glitter which is the fabbiest glitter ever! The heart stamp is Paperbag Studios.
I've been keeping some of this old jewellery and haberdashery for years but the time has come... no more saving for best!
