stella and the much too sunny afternoon...

"stella's day didn't exactly go as planned..."

Stella woke up bright and early this morning expecting a sunny, but COLD forecast. Everything seemed to be going according to plan until just about lunch time when the sun really started beating down and suddenly things weren't so chilly anymore!

Stella knew her days were numbered from the start. She really wished she could've had a few more days to enjoy the view, but accepted her fate and melted quietly to the ground.

We gathered what was left of her and stuffed her in a clear glass ornament for posterity's sake.

Stella's guts are vintage mica flakes. Her eyes, mouth and buttons are little black glass beads (currently buried under her hat and scarf). Her arms are bits of grapevine twigs. Her scarf is made of ribbon and her hat is a tiny i-cord made on a knitting nobby.
