| My new kitschy centerpiece. |
I cannot tell you how long I have had the idea to turn these doll heads into flowers for use in this cheapo vase. I've wanted to do it for-EVER.
I thought I would make the flowers out of fabric, but couldn't find a way to do it that I was happy with. Believe me, I tried several different ways. I also tried yarn, ribbon and paper. It wasn't until I saw
this post on the Auntie Peaches blog about deconstructing dollar store flowers to make new flowers that knew I had my solution. Genius, Peaches!

I found the bag of vintage doll heads at a thrift store about three years ago. I already had the vase. It was fate that brought us all together, I'm sure of it.

This is exactly how I imagined it in my mind's eye. I'm so pleased! Who wouldn't be? It's a kitsch masterpiece perfect for my dining room table!

"kitsch" doesn't cover it! These are too cool. Slightly sinister too --flowers with heads you know -- but very cool! Would love to see a whole army of them sprinkled around a real garden.
