Herb doll

I am behind in posting but not in taking photos. Went to a herb study meeting on Thurs.  The Renegade Craft Group of  H.S.A. had made some herb dolls to sell for $9.00.  I had other commitments when they actually made them with fresh herbs.  The doll head is a poppy seed head.  Decided to use this for a still life image.   I used a red knit top for the background and you are going to see some faint wrinkles related to the close up.  It definitely needed a contrasting color and I could have used turquoise or a dark green. I buy remants of fabric for these kind of projects. See if you can recognize some of the herbs they used.  Hint: Bay leaves for wings.  Hot glue was used to assemble the dolls.  The image was cropped, shadows adjusted, sharpened and vignette applied in PSE 11.
