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:
