Tinsel Queen, Is she a Doll, A Tree Topper or a Hat?
The Tinsel Queen is all three, she is a tree topper who sat on top of my pink christmas tree in my studio this past winter, then Queen Tinsel sat on top of my wire dress form, a just a doll, finally becoming a hat for the day at a small gathering I had, theme: Dolls in Wonderland.
Queen Tinsel was made from a a basic cone shape, and vintage doll head image from my own collection, which was photocopied and layered onto thick card stock, cut-out and attached to the top of the cone Now I added aged tinsel(Watch my You-Tube Video of aging new tinsel), then I attached the tinsel to my cone and sprinkled with my fave glitter: Antique Silver Glitter from Martha Stewart, followed by crepe paper, more aged tinsel, vintage trims from Tinsel Trading, German Glass Glitter, more Antique Silver Glitter from Martha Stewart Glitters, vintage pearl buttons, Dresden Trim and more dazzling items, I found searched for in my studio.
STORY:
The Tinsel Queen is the Queen of Tinselville and ready to spread some vintage magic to all, her castle is made from the finest tinsel from Germany, and her wardrobe is exclusively designed by Pixielust Designers of Paris, and her wands are designed by C.L.Pufflewiff. If you ever come to Tinselville please stop on by the castle!
For full instructions on how to make Cone doll hats perfect for your holiday trees, dress form tops, centerpieces or well, your head, lol, visit the full instructions in my new book: Altered Art Circus, under the Marie Antoinette Soiree Project!
I hope to see some of your stylish doll hats soon!
Magic and Joy!

What a beautiful, majestic Queen. I bet the Royal Court and all her subjects adore her? She looks to be a fair and kind Queen.
