I thought it looked poppy-like as well  Roll Eyes

However, having another look, there are two lines going upwards from it. I took these to be pleats but they could be parts of a chain holding the thingie from her waist.

The ones you have posted today are beautiful Rachel - thanks and thanks too Gadget - hope the dentist was kind to you.

Had a magnifying glass on the original - as a humble novice (and I'm flattering myself with that description!)  Smiley I see a purse and a chain coming down from her waist (hidden nearer to waist) looks leather? similar texture to gloves?

Thats gorgeous Gadget  Grin  I see you have polished up the purse - delicate glow of gold!  Maybe on the original the lights reflected on it making it a dumpling shape.  And the path - I want to walk up it to see what's over the hill.  Thank you very much.

Hi Eileen  Smiley

Here are a couple of subdued ones.I'm not sure yet - ask Caz - she and I can take months to decide on colours  Grin

Anyway - one with some texture and one with even more texture.

I had to make them smaller and the second one has a bit of compression on it to get below the 500kb  Undecided

 Cheesy Beautiful Gadget  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
That detail is just amazing  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

I started fiddling with the colours on mine and can you believe it ... that green you've used (hat on right) is identical to the one I've mixed up for the main part of her costume ! and of course the one on the left is at present a subdued cream !!!!!!  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Think I'll leave it until next week

 Smiley Cheesy Grin Christmas has come early for me  Smiley Cheesy Grin  Every time I log on I have a beautiful present to unwrap.  I love the cuffs Gadget and yes Rachel that green does suit Grandma.  Don't talk compression to me yet though - only just learned about dpi  Embarrassed
Hope the dentist was gentle with you - and thanks and thanks again
