La Vie En Rose

A while back, i signed up for the "Spring Muse" paper doll swap on the BMuse yahoo group. It has taken me forever to get it going, but today the inspiration came and the Edith Piaf doll was born. I truly and deeply love her music, and La Vie En Rose is one of my all time favorite songs. I have been listening to my Edith discs alot lately while i sew and hang out in the "art room" upstairs, so the doll is kinda a tribute to how inspiring i find that incredible French music. I wish the photos were better...i know better than to try to get pictures at night when the light is bad. But i was so excited to have completed a doll tonight that i could not wait to share. I put a necklace on her so that she could have a pearl over her "throat chakra" to symbolize her amazing voice, a rose crown and tulle veil, and her body is covered with rose printed tissue paper, fake roses and petals, tulle, ribbons, lace and buttons. I have a feeling she is a bit dimensional for the swap...but i just CANNOT seem to make a flat doll!!! Oh well. I like her and hate to mail her away tomorrow, but she must venture out into the world. I hope whoever gets her enjoys her as much as i enjoyed creating her tonight.
