Angels in my house

I have had four of these porcelain doll heads on a shelf for about a year.  They stare out at me every time I go into my art room.  I have always thought that I would resell them, as is, for others to decorate.  But, after looking at Christmas decorations on Friday, reading numerous blogs, I decided that something should be done with them.  Then I can sell them.

Here's what they all looked like before I decorated them.
Pretty, but bald.  I love the hand painting of the facial features.  They are really sweet.

Here's the first one I did:
I decorated her with bits of old lace and trim.  Then I added feather wings, a crown button, and tinsel for the halo.
This is the second angel I transformed.  I used that crinkled up shredded paper for her hair, old lace, an old earring and feather wings.

Here she is from the side so you get a better look at the lace covering her head.

Here is the third one I completed.  I think she better fits in as a fairy.  I haven't put wings on her.  Don't think she needs them.  What do you think??
Since she is wearing a hat made out of coffee dyed flower petals, she is probably a fairy.

I completed the last one late last night.  I will have to photograph here later today.  Will post her later today.  Check back later this afternoon.  Got a lot going on this morning.  See you then????  Here she is:

They are adorable...I especially like the fairy one! These would look wonderful atop a beautifully decorated bottle.
