Queen of Hearts

The two Queen of Hearts are part Valentine, part Alice in Wonderland. I worked on the Queens during the polar arctic blast we had recently and I recommend working with the color red on cold days. It warms one up immensely.

The articulated arms are wonderful and allow one to move them after they are put together. The little rods holding them in fit perfectly and glue is not necessary. I chose to have her arms uplifted but you can put them in many positions. She is a versatile and magnificent form and I enjoyed working on the Queens.

METHOD

Put the Queens together and spray paint the forms red. Assemble the bottom heart cutout later.
Print out the face, and flowers and hearts for the background of the image.
Make ‘wings’ out of discarded old dictionary pages and trim with red card stock.
Use Red Stickles on the crown and the heart.
Add rhinestones to heart and crown.
Use one of the hearts for a bustier.
Use a piece of embroidered fabric or textured fabric behind the heart cutout and glue on the bottom heart cutout.
Add a face and outline with Red Stickles Glitter.
Assemble and glue on paper wings and floral background.
