The Winds of Change... a Clay Corset!

She has taken on a life of her own...
this "Keeper of the Lost Dolls!"
The paper napkin corset is out... a paper clay corset is in
(or should I say "on!)
 Once the paper clay has dried, I will look for some
vintage lace or netting in my stash and then stuff it...
Well, place it... strategically to provide her 
with a bit of proper, 18th century lady-like modesty! (wink!)
 Katie helped me use her paper embossing tool and I cut
some scrapbooking papers and ran them through the embosser;
giving the paper both texture and a bit of curl (after dampening it)!
