How I made it: I cut a plaque shaped like a piano of course, from a 1 inch, by 11 inch, ponderosa pine board. I drilled small holes in the legs of the piano, and matching holes in the plaque. I put pegs to hold piano to plaque, plus a very strong glue.I did the same with the bench, that I made.Then I made the doll up and drilled a hole in the bench. I put a long peg up the dolls wazoo and attached it to the seat.
You can turn the whole vignette upside down and it will not fall off, I promise you. I do not make dolls, like a true doll maker. I make scenes. Dolls do not move from their given places... The plaque this vignette is on is 14 inches long, over 7 inches wide, As the doll is the tallest part, it is over 11 inches tall.Thank you for stopping by! I so enjoy your visits.
Hugs,
Marie Antionette

Hi Marie!
ReplyDeleteYour doll vignette is incredible! I'm amazed at your creative ability! And it's so small too. Little showpieces of history or art. You have real talent Marie!
Your songs are wonderful. I love all those artists. I come from the days when they were all young and new record artists and they've lasted through the years!
Hugs, Sherry
Wow!
ReplyDeletethanks Marie for the frying tips. Momma always had a fried chicken dinner every Sunday after church. But that tradition just didn't catch on with my family. :)

Good Morning Marie!
ReplyDeleteI corrected my post. The plant you liked is an oregano called Kent's Beauty. It blooms all summer but is a very needy plant & needs watered everyday. I think it's coloring is so beautiful and soft looking.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs, Sherry
