Whimsical Evening Bag Doll Creation

This is the 2ND evening bag doll that I created; the bag belonged to my grandma Cookie. I found the high-heeled shoes in the Christmas ornament department. Her hat is an animal print powder puff. This is one of the few dolls that I used doll hair on; it isn't very easy to work with. Anyway, I like the way she holds her hand up to her mouth, like she's flirting and laughing. I used my Cookie's black beaded hair scrunchy for the doll's collar and she has a little champagne glass next to her hand that has letter beads that say "Capture some magic". xoxoxotoni kelly*happy girl

Create something fabulous with a treasured object

After my grandma Cookie passed away, I ended up with her evening bag collection. There is this one bag that I thought was so interesting because it's red and in the shape of a star. This was the last bag I remember seeing her carry. I made a "Cookie" doll out of it. This was a few years ago, so when I look at it now, of course I would have done some things differently. My little girl's let me have one of their toy crowns, I attached her rhinestone anklet to it - it says "Cookie" on the front of it. The metal in the middle belonged to her husband, he had gotten it from serving in a war. I found that old looking phone in her Christmas ornaments. She had been a Southern Bell phone operator for much of her life, so I thought it would be fitting to have that sit next to her. Red was her signature color and she always wore heels, luckily - I found some really cute doll shoes at the dollar store, so cute!
