Old Projects: Thelma Doll Details 2004

Edna was made for my late godmother Elaine, who loved her garden.
 

The hat was made from a round piece of burlap, soaked in liquid starch & dried over a tinfoil form.

 The little seed packet (that sits in Thelma's breast pocket) is a photo of a real Aster packet, reduced & printed on an ink-jet printer, folder & glued like a real seed packet, & filled with pepper to look like seeds.
The little pot was filled with white craft glue & has ground coffee for 'dirt'.


The belt buckle is a child's barrette
The trowel has a Sculpey handle, with a piece of toothpick that has 2 pieces of foil covered plastic glued to either side of it.
