Do you want to see the last of my creations from the workshop

Here She is , I`m kind of proud of her, ---because JoAnnA challenged us to use

beautifull things we normally won`t part with, ----and I did that.

Her head is an old porcelain head that I repainted, the wings from an old

chandelier I have long kept on my shelf.And the hat from that too.

The body is a very old candlestick, and the beautifull foot from the

chandelier too. I put a little simmili around it.

The beautifull old flowers I got from a dear costumer.

It has been used on dresses on the Royal Theather in

Copenhagen

She is dressed in a piece of embroidered material, and braun tulle.
