the further adventures of Ms. Doll

Ms. Doll is back, this time with a new persona. (If you don't recall her previous self, you may want to check her out HERE.) 

Ms. Doll's new mask is that of Marie Antoinette.


Here is a peek at her makings--a chipboard bird set from Gypsy Soul makes up her headdress, bits of wire giving the idea of flight from the nest.  You can see that I find that clothespins make fantastic little clamps!


She has some cheesecloth embellishments on her shoulders, and honestly, at first I was thinking they're a bit too large. But then again, she's a paper doll with birds nesting on her head and roosting on her shoes!   


Here she has a peplum, but it's removable.


Here she is sans peplum, but with plenty of ruffles.


Just a silly, fun make, and one that lends itself to further creating.  This particular dress and ruffles are made from book pages--you can find the easy directions for that HERE.  And don't forget to leave a comment for a go at the June goody bag, from Altered Pages!


Supplies:
inks 
cheesecloth and jewels

  3. :) Thank you! I'm particularly fond of using that chipboard dolly (so much sturdier than cardstock), and the articulated joints are a bonus, as well--lots more potential poses!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
