Brush it on... Wipe it off!

The process begins: "brush it on... wipe some off; repeat...

brush it on... wipe some off!"

I started with a wash of raw umber 

to provide a bit of underlying shadow.

I will then layer some soft white and cream top coats... 

"brush it on... wipe some off!"

A stray vintage crocheted glove has been sitting around, "waiting..." 

for this moment!  It became the perfect period bonnet!

I tucked the "fingers" of the glove inside the beautifully detailed

work around the crocheted hand and wrist part of the glove.

Her paper clay corset was also given a wash of raw umber 

that I wiped off, and then a wash of patina green and coral blush.

 And then there's the cascading crushed tulle... 

which will somehow fit into the scheme of things... right?

(my hope: the tulle will "frame" all of the lost dolls)
