A bit of art from the past

These are some mannequins that I decorated approximately 2 years ago. I had such fun doing this that I did one large one (32") & 3 smaller ones (12"). I guess I never posted these as it was before my blog days. Also....I did a few little goofy things on the big one...as you can see! They were sooo much fun to do. Just recently on one of my trips to the hospital I saw a small giraffe (around 5 ft tall) that was decorated in this same manner. I would love to get my hands on one of those little giraffes. It was absolutely adorable.
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

These are so cute! I thought of you when I wrote my blog today and mentioned you and your blog when writing about paper boxes and paper dolls. Hope that is OK!! You could make some cool paperdolls using your savvy talents.
