I found this little doll's dress in a mud puddle in the middle of a street. Several cars had run over it. So, after washing it, I began to notice the subtle shine of satin and ran my hands over the ruffles and lace. I wanted to paint it, so I made a miniature hanger for it out of wire and hung it on a nail in front of yellow paper.
