Tinkerbell's Crown: Peter Pan

A very special piece of work for a costume worn by a wonderful, lovely actress playing one of my favorite characters in the world in a very special production near and dear to my heart!  I left a little bit of my heart and soul in this one. 
And yes, I DO believe in fairies!
