Today is Erzulie's birthday! It was two years ago today that she arrived to join my growing doll family. Like many of the other little kids here, she will be 'six' forever.
I thought I better take some birthday portraits before her party begins later this afternoon.....

Erzulie's dress was made from a beautiful piece of lace given to me by Charie Wilson when I went to pick up Coco and Holly. It's a lovely silver gray embroidered on beige mesh. After trying to match it with many different colours of fabric, I finally decided to pair it with pink. The dress itself is sleeveless, and goes under a matching pink satin, puffed-sleeve bolero jacket.....
Her cake is a multi-media creation. The bottom tier is wood, covered with polymer clay 'fondant' (I had to use wood, since styrofoam can't go in the oven). The top layer is styrofoam covered with drywall compound, and embellished with polymer clay dots and big purple bow.
I found the tiny '6' candle at the party store, but it burns up so fast that I was only able to take three photos before the top of the '6' collapsed. Next time I better buy a couple of candles.
