Too much hair!

That's what Ariana told me first thing this morning. And she was right. Her hair was too thick and overpowered her face. So I removed about half of it and added waves to the new thinner hair. We also decided to change her headpiece into a small crown. Here she is playing her mandolin in the chapel. The chapel is the place she feels closest to her mother so she spends a lot of time there.

Poke the picture to make it bigger.

Chapel Bench

What do you get when you mix air dry clay, scrap wood, rubber stamps, lace, cocktail sticks, and paint? Well, this time you get this monk's bench for the chapel. A monk's bench is the storage area the monk used to store his vestments before there were closets. My bench doesn't actually open but it looks as though it could. It has also been aged with paint to make it look as though it's been in that chapel for a long, long time.
