I spent some time in the studio this afternoon working some magic on one of the dolls I found this past weekend in the scary basement.
Voila...Cupid.
A little garland crown, a glittered embellished heart, a crepe paper shirt and a some glittered wings transformed this little doll.
Ready to let one of those arrow's fly...with pink and red Valentine love.
I love how she turned out...I think she is happy too.
Laurie, she did turn out pretty darn cute! You did a great job!

You'll be keeping this cutie, right? I'll bet if you put it on Etsy you could have an auction and make a mint. She is just tooo darling!

Oh look at her! She looks so innocent, like she's saying "Who me? I didn't just plunk an arrow into you!" She's so darling, and she looks very happy in her new career!

Laurie, I will admit when you posted the pictures of this doll I was skeptical. I have never been a doll girl (my poor mother, she is!) Well, this little one is so DARLING! If I tell my mother I'm now looking for doll's she's going to fall over in shock!
Thanks for sharing!

What a great transformation!!! The true Magpie Ethel treatment. She looks like she's giggling now.
Oh yeah...and I got my package in the mail today and am sooooo in LOVE! I'll have to snap some photos of them in their new home. Thank you!!! :)
