~ anatomy of a crown{swap}.

upon embarking on this journey i had no idea i'd make such lovely friends, learn new techniques, & enjoy the thoughtful use of the symbol 'the crown'


i neede to make this crown three times,
once - with wire
once - by rolling strips of watercolour paper around it
& once - with plaster.

then, came sanding {with a nail file}
painting {two coats in rose white}
& decorating





i wish i could have captured it better...



some little goodies,


& because i was sitting at the kitchen table & my sister loves to do it too, she made a crown of her own


with carboard & plaster, which she painted pink & decorated with little buttons, beads & trinkets, such a beautiful job for a little princess!!!


i wish i could capture the delicacy of the tulle


special pearls


& French beaded lace


a bouquet of flowers for this queen rules with the fragrance of kindness


loveliest thoughts for you all today!!! *she waves royaly* :)
