{"product_id":"queen-persephone-paperwhimsy-project","title":"Queen Persephone PaperWhimsy Project","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccording to Greek mythology, Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, was taken by Hades against her will to be his bride. She mourned the loss of her world until she was able to return at the beginning of Spring. A fitting tale for the coming Halloween season, this assemblage doll celebrates this myth and the emotions of mourning. For this project, I also challenged myself to create a monochromatic project using only black and very dark grey. I was especially excited after I found this broken brooch among my craft stash, which picked up the tone of this project perfectly. The end result compliments the Halloween motif well, but also adds a level of sophistication and elegance that can be made any time of year.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eQueen Persephone PaperWhimsy Project Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePaint entire Amazing Alterables doll with black paint.
