Anneelaw was more or less a bust when I recieved her - just a head and shoulders (?) and one hand. I couldn't resist giving her some little out-of-proportion legs. Once I did that, she looked to me like a Society Lady sitting in an ornate wrought iron chair getting ready to take a bite from a finger sandwich. So then I decided a patio table was in order to complete the illusion.
Her legs are Barbie-type legs that I paper mache-ed over. The ankles were moveable, but the knees weren't, so I had to cut the legs in half and paper mache them to the proper angles for crossing. Her capris are painted turquoise to go with her hat and overcoated with a turquoise glitter nail polish. Her shoes are purple to match her glove.
The base of the patio table is a black metal thingie that once housed a glass votive holder. Something I just had in my stash that worked perfectly with her "chair"! The top is simply a paper mache-ed cardboard cutout with the top layer being a design I downloaded off the internet.
The table looked kinda empty, so I made a bouquet of paper mache and wire flowers and placed them in a painted mini liquor bottle.
And here're my journal pages.
Soon Anneelaw will be on her way home to MA in Canada. You're gonna love her, MA!

I don't know what to say that gives voice to how I feel about my wonderful, marvelous, spectacular and awesome Anneelaw!! To say I'm blown away and thrilled by everything this talented group did with what was just pieces of an old lamp is a huge understatement. You all rock!!!!!!!
The legs just finished her off in grand fashion G! Great job! Love the table etc. too. Everything looks great!
What a great idea. I love how those legs just take her in a whole different direction. Just gorgeous.
