Paper Doll



Sue from www.paperparadise.co.uk very kindly donated some dolls via Sam for us to alter, so here is mine.I used various handmade papers to decorate the dress, then layered them on top of each other, then used gold ribbon & star jems to decorate. On the neck I used acrylic dabbers. I then used an old bottle top with an image in it, then used glossy accents & finally a crown from grungebord with gold acrylic paint.I hope I have done my doll proud!
