I actually scanned this in with my new scanner. It is a card I made at the "Card & Cookies" party of the Women to Women group at Holy Cross Episcopal. Those cards are fun to make. I did add the little text thing later from something I cut out of a catalog. It's fun to take bits and pieces to make something.

A skirt for Lily!

Tinkerbell Pullip

2007-07-03T11:48:00.000-07:00

Formerly a mini Raphia. Because my Froggy Merry had her body to break, I ordered this Raphia and gave her body to Merry. I think put Merry's body (which had been glued back together) on the little Raphia head. The glued body didn't have as much a range of motion so I am using the doll as a Tinkerbell figurine. She doesn't move around as much as the other doll. I used silver leaves for the wings and cut/styled her hair. I didn't touch her face. I hope to get an outfit made for her sometime that is more casual. Here it looks like Tink is going to a formal. :P

2007-05-15T10:20:00.000-07:00

My hubby had a stopper from one of his liquor bottles and he said, this looks like a mushroom, so I put one of my craft faes on it.

Old posts

2007-03-23T11:42:00.000-07:00

These are my old posts from New Blog, that I am transferring here!

The frame is not by me, but is a Paint Shop Pro frame that came with the software or the Creative designs add-ons, can't remember which. This is a computer doll I did last year (base by me) and turned into a card for this year. Happy Halloween friends!

This is the little pumpkin I decorated for the contest at FAE.

Note: I decorated the pumpkin, but the hoodie was made by Shouri for my Pullip Pixie. The kitty pumpkin just borrowed Pixie's hoodie, which she wants back before we go on vacation in a couple of weeks!

-----------------------------------
I made these dolls for the giveaway basket at:

I have made another teacher outfit for Pixie. She likes to save her faerywear for weekends. LOL!

I had robbed some more dollies of their clothes for my mini pullips, so I made them fairy costumes. Material used are silk flowers on two of them, fabric and beads and of course floral leaves as the wings.

I made this outfit for Pixie. Notice the pencil pattern. She will wear it when she homeschools her kids this fall.

The girls show off their Sunday best. I made the top Sherry is wearing as well as the skirt Marie is wearing:

This is a little bratz doll that I robbed the outfit for my mini Pullips. I decided to turn her into a fairy. I made the dress with black lace. Her wings are floral leaves like you might in bridal sections of crafts stores. I sent her to a friend. Well, it turns out her girls are into Bratz, so I sent her three more I had pinched their outfits for mini Pullips and then made them faery outfits.

This Fae I made with chenille stems, floral leaves and such has decided she wants to wear a real daffodil hat!

Note: I made the hat, top and skirt Berry is wearing. The stockings came from Pullip Kiss.

faes Originally uploaded by Pixie Wildflower.I made the dresses for both of these faes. One from silk flowers and the other from Chenille stems.

A dressing table I made for Pixie. It was made from an empty box that I covered and added a mirror to.

Another view of the dressing table. You can't really see it because of her skirt, but her sitting bench matches the dressing table.

Beds I made for my mini pullips. The "frames" were square soap dishes from the Dollar Tree!

One of my faes I made hiding in the clover!

I made these pink dresses for my Pullips. The larger dress is most tulle with some lace. The smaller one is made from silk flower petals:

Here is a white dress I made for this doll Tammy gave me. The entire dress is made from white lace:

Pixie shows off the dress I made her.

I had some dollar store dolls that I stole the clothes off of for my mini Pullip. I decided to turn them into faeries. Their outfits are made out of silk flower petals and the wings are leaves you can get in any crafts store:
