Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it, since there's a lot of really fancy Holiday flowers available right now - many already on sale. Flower petals make great costume embellishments, so now's the time to stock up.
Had to go to Michaels for some paint the other day, and all their fake Christmas flowers were half price, and I spotted some blue poinsettias. Someday I'd like to make a larger BJD version of my "Queen of the Night", the last sculpted doll I made before switching to BJD costuming. Her costume had dark blue poinsettia petals and embossed velvet hydrangea petals incorporated into the embellishment design. Of course Christmas flowers change every year, and it's not possible to get the same ones ever again, so even though I much prefer the older ones I used on the Queen of the Night's gown, I don't know if I still have enough left, so I bought the new blue poinsettias as a back up.

Thanks! She's paperclay over a wire armature, and with a cloth body. I made her in 2009. She was the last doll I sculpted. I never much cared for sculpting - for me the doll was just the form to support the costume - which is what I really preferred making.
