Wings Of Paper For Charlotte
Frozen Charlotte’s are German vintage dolls that were dug up from a burned down German doll factory in late 1800’s. You see them being sold at etsy, just type frozen charlottes and there’s quite a few of them that sells these. If you noticed, the dolls have missing arms and legs and truly depicts the legend being told about the Frozen Charlottes: A girl named Charlotte set out one New Year’s Eve night to go to a ball. Her mother advised her to wear a wrap but she refused worried that her new dress might not be seen. And so, she set off in a cold winter night on a sleigh with boyfriend Charles, who to his grief and astonishment found Charlotte frozen from the cold. There you have the story. I look at the doll and it’s angelic face and I thought that she definitely needed wings. So here she is with wings fashioned out of small colorful round paper beads.
I took paper beads put it into a wire and fashioned it into wings. Now, I am not that sad looking at the broken doll, I just made her into an angel 🙂
I think it goes so well with this lacy top with beads on it, I just have to show you.
And yes, the long earrings are paper beads too.
Another day of turning ordinary to extraordinary!
