I have to tell you I have been holding back. I made this crown and doll
last summer and had grand illusions I was going to submit it for possible
publication, Well I still haven't gotten around to it. So when I saw
the challenge on Gingersnap Creations Was crowns I knew it was time to share
my Marie Antoinette Crown I made.
Last summer I had purchased a poor little vintage doll at an estate sale.
Who's legs and arms were broken, Her skirt had been home to a spiders nest. I knew she was in bad need of a makeover.
I striped her down and found a bird cage for her skirt. made her clothes and adorned her with the jewels a proper Queen would wear.
Inside holds a bouquet of the same handmade flowers and a sweet bird making
her skirt a Home sweet Home!
Oh to be a Queen!!!!

Beautiful Lynn, how your imagination runs wild! I'm a queen, but don't have a dress or crown like that one, mine is ah...rather grungy! lol xxoo
Glorious! This would definitely get published. Do you have a photo of the doll beforehand>

I love the creativity you've shown in this piece. The birdcage, nest and birds are such 'tweet' embellishments for the Queen.
'hugs from afar'
Lynn, this is gorgeous. It must have taken days to put this together. I showed to my hubby and he was fascinated too which means you did an awesome job. He seldoms comments on things I show him.
Don't stay away so long as you are missed.
Wow, that is fantastic!! What a great transormation. The bird on her "crown" is beautiful. Love it, love it.

so glad this little doll was rescued and turned into a stunning queen--love the headdress. And the crown is perfect for the Gingersnap Creations challenge!
Oh the beauty that lurks in your head!!! The royal crown is stunning, but the transformation of the doll is sheer brillance! Love them!
the birdcage below the bodice is wonderful. So cool.
Fantastic!!
Do you happen to have any 'before' pictures? I think it would be inspiring to see all the wonderful changes you've made.
What a great vision you had for that rejected doll, Lynn. I love her birdcage torso. And your crown is certainly publish-worthy! (Although I know how you feel, I have several things just sitting here because I'm too busy to write up the directions:)
Love the color, the crown and the doll! Simply gorgeous!

These are so imaginative and pretty. I love the crown and what you did with the doll. I love, too, the way that bird's tail droops down, perfect!!
Wonderful stuff Lynn! Laura
That is awesome--I like how the skirt is a bird cage, it kind of juxtaposes how they sometimes actually wore the bird cages (with live birds in them!) on their heads!
You made that dolly VERY happy,
Lynn--you can just tell she loves her majestic makeover!
:)
OH WOW. You are without a doubt, the most talented woman I know!!! BEAUTIFUL!
Oh how gorgeous is that bird!! I love it!!
Okay, the crown is awesome but the doll is totally fabulous!!! I love her!!!! You are amazing!
I am breathless with how glorious your crown and doll are. The colors are perfect. The details are perfect. The theme of birdcage skirt and flower nest with exquisite bird on her hair is genius. You are amazing my dear...
OMG Lynn, how darling!! You outdid yourself with this one. I LOVE her little cage, and bird in her hair. OMG, you are so clever!!! Yes, great minds do think alike. Thanks for visiting, and letting me know. I haven't been too good about surfing these days, just tooooo busy! Hugs, Riki

I love the embellishments you have given your queen. Pomp and Circumstance is my immediate thought!
