I am not sure if it is from hanging out with my 4 year old pal ,Frances, but lately I have really been into crowns- not the "stuffy beauty pageant" kind but the "let's make it ourselves and put fun things on it" kind...
I will be teaching at the AFIC Doll Conference coming in late April 2011 and one of the "challenges" will be to wear a hat to a banquet...last time I made a crown of kokeshi dolls...
This year I want to make another crown...hummm...crowns...
Photos of Vintage Crowns
New Crowns
(made by others)
so as I was looking through a magazine I came across this photo- perfect!!
but in paper...this is going to be fun!!
I have made butterflies before in fabric for one of my Story Dolls...
Here are some books and links that may be of interest to you!
I have this book and find it delightful!
This book I came across online and do not have it BUT I find her portfolio very inspiring!
When I complete my crown you will be the first to see!!! Stay tuned.....
