Do they look like dismembered insects? I hope so! They are part of the trolls outfit adornments. Not so disgusting when you realise they are just bits of a pine cone.

The colours are not the true colours, the light in my house is not that good of an evening. I have been hand sewing all the felt shapes to this dress which i itself is a gathered material around the waist of a long sleeved top.It will have one long sleeve covered and the other sleeve will be taken off.
I have it in the sitting room on top of a cat play equipment cube on top of a bed side table.
The colour of the fabric is white, that just show how bad the colour is in lighting in the room.

Wings.

I have 23 sets of Billy Goat headbands. Half of the horns are made out of a skirt i bought from an opp shop in England a couple of years ago. The rest are made of felt, both will be a bone colour.
These are the ears. Also fabric i bought from England at the same time. Plush curtain fabric. The inner ear is light brown and the outer ear is dark brown also a plush fabric.
The colours are not as they are in real life, the lighting in doors is not that great today, the dark brown looks blue in this picture and the bone colour looks blue.
