Here is the inspiration I spoke of for my latest ghostie. While in Joseph Oregon for my husbands street rod show, I came across this wonderful old print on canvas of two victorian girls dressed in fairy costumes. I fell in love, and was inspired for my next ghostie !
I have several antique wax dolls in christmas fairy outfits. I love the old silver tinsel that was used on them, and have been collecting it hoping to find something to use it on someday.
It worked out perfectly for my latest Ghostie Pricilla Pettigrew! I used my old tinsel and an antique silver bullion star for her costume. Her fairy dress is from vintage baby blue netting, and her wings are from vintage wire tinsel. She measured around 13".
Pricilla Pettigrew,star of the Christmas play,
Practiced her pirouette with a passion all day,
Alas, while performing a perfect spin,
She spun right off the stage to a dreadful end!
Pricilla has been sold, but I am in the process of creating two smaller pieces for my Etsy shop, that hopefully I will have listed tomorrow or the next day...keep your fingers crossed for me that there are no more family emergencies!Happy Hauntings, Gail

Здоровья Вашим родителям, а Вам- стойкости!
А девочка такая трогательная!
Gail she is wonderful... I wish all the best for you parents. I lost my dad almost three years ago, it is so hard and challenging to make sure they are OK. Thank heavens my Mom is in great health. Your parents will be in my prayers.
hoping that all is peaceful for everyone around you for a long, long while ... and Pricilla is absolutely priceless, so I am definitely looking forward to the next two. :)
She is lovely and so delicate...
The use of such keepsakes stands for the love and the fragility for how life is...and is treasured.
Lot's of good spirits for your parents. Hope they will be doing fine soon.
