Emeline, the Marie Antoinette-inspired party girl, is made
of paper, tyvek, fabric, lace, ribbon, sequins, brads and glue. Her head, shoes
and the roses on her skirt and bodice are Graphics Fairy http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ royalty-free images. The
arms and legs are cut from cardstock, with an overlay of “faux lace” that I
make using dried, recycled tea bags stamped with white printmaking paint.
The skirt was pieced together with an underlay of recycled
tyvek (from a USPS shipping bag). I painted the inside of the bag with Lumiere
turquoise acrylic and a touch of gold swirl. Four panels of a vintage French
rose were added, and pink ribbon covers the join marks. Some sheer pink and
silver lace creates the bottom skirt border.
Emeline’s face and hair were enhanced with markers and
chalk. The legs, arms and head are attached with mini brads so that the parts
are moveable. The finishing touch was the addition of tiny sequins to resemble
jewels, which were glued to her hairdo, and also applied to her wrists, shoes
and skirt.

she's great Linda!
Thanks Janet :-) I made her a while back and forgot to post to my blog. She seemed to be just the thing for setting the mood for the upcoming holiday week.
Haha I can see, Emeline, the Marie Antoinette-inspired party girl, has a lot of fun.
Love your doll creation very much.
Have a nice week, hugs Anja
