I make these for my little one, she has a number of interchangeable heads and bodies. And then I bought the Spotlight for the Inner Child, and saw something virtually identical. Ah well, one day I'll come up with something original!

These are all amazing ;D I LOVE that idea Sue, a fantastic interpretation in my opinion ;D ;D I'll have to enter too...just this is the hardest theme I've come across yet :P hmm...maybe a bright lentil (HA- a bead hammered flat with a knife :P) with some pixie dust? I have some but haven't used it yet :P x

I love all the sweeties .... I went along a similar line but I was thinking spice and candy, so brought in some Ginger glass, with reactive frit for a dress and pulled some candy coloured hair for this goddess...
