I made this "Den of Temptation" for a friend to celebrate coupons! I especially love the temptress arm handing her a fistful of coupons. Not visible, but nevertheless very cute (if I do say so myself!), Charlotte's hands (also known as Carlotta) are actually little scissors. One hand has a coupon and the other has a little purse. Her body is an vintage candy tin. I removed the blonde hair from the doll's head and put black hair on her. I had this crazy idea to wax her face and as careful as I was, wax got in her eye (ouch!) and now her eye doesn't open too well. The sign at the bottom says "Den of Temptation". We love our coupons!

Oh Pat, this is waaay too cool!!! I love it, and everything about it. How very creative to equate coupons with temptation -- and how very true that is for a lot of us.
I used to think I HAD to use every coupon for the craft stores to buy SOMETHING, ANYTHING, or else I was wasting it. I stopped doing that a long time ago, for the most part.
Now I usually only use coupons when I really need or want something. But they sure come in handy, don't they?
What a great assemblage. I'm proud of you.
This is terrific! But, I think you forgot something...ME!! I'm pretty sure I live there! LOL! Great work!!
