This lovely papier-mache lady took over a week to do, but she turned out so well that I don't begrudge the time spent. I found her at a flea market sale wearing an awful papier-mache dress and carrying a basket with dusty flowers in it, so I brought her home and gave her a new gown, a fresh makeup job and hairstyle, and gave her a pretty lace fan to carry. I'm sure she's happier now. I know I am. Although you can't see much of it, her bodice has a v-neckline trimmed with the same trim used elsewhere. I've always wanted to do a papier-mache doll dress, and so this was a great opportunity for me to fulfill a childhood dream.
