Flower Doll

I committed to making five Flower Dolls for the ning I've joined.  This is a departure from my wire dolls, but I figured I'd challenge myself to expand a bit.  The inspiration for this one was a little paperback book I found in my great-grandmother's abandoned house.  It's called The Wonderful Lunch Boxes and was published by "Postum Cereal" in 1925 with illustrations by Shirley Kite.  I just love the illustrations, particularly one page that shows the little seed -- baby heads -- beneath the ground.  And thus my first flower doll, though next time I think I'll not attempt the wheat flowers :)
