So, here it is...pretty boring old stuff really but I must do as I'm told...vbg.
This is a mixed media paper doll (bird) that was made for a swap. She was to go to a participant over in America, but some how she flew off course and never arrived at her destination!
She was about 6 inches tall, self supported on her wire legs, with a tiny woven vine nest which has three REAL candy coated chocolate eggs in it. I painted them with acrylic and then sealed them with a lacquer, adding tiny diamantes to them at that time.
There is a garland of lead crystals surrounding the nest and some also on the wire hanger. Unfortunately they don't show up in all their glory here. There are also tiny copper stars attached to the garland
Her wings are feathers off a vintage 1950's lady's hat and she has a brass crown, surrounded by Christmas icicle-garland spikes.
So now it is my turn to pass this challenge on to 4 other Bloggers....I do hope they take it up...and no cheating ladies...vbg.

Oh, I still love your birdie, Barb, and it´s so sad that she never showed up!
I don´t understand the "4th folder" thing, could you explain that to me?
I remember this birdie and it was so lovely! I think Letha still hopes it will eventually fly her way someday with some interesting tales to tell of her misguided adventures =)
yes...the poor dear is probably exhausted by now...flying that distance for so long!
Beckie...I hope Letha has not been holding her breath all this time...she would be about to explode!LOL
Birdie is gorgeous. Love her. She is too precious to let fly away to lands so far away! Margaret Weiss
