It's been some time since I last posted. Some medical issues have come up and I'm not even sure I can get through this. However, like any good Hometalk crafter, we push on.
The Cast of Characters
For the past few years, I've been collecting a variety of body forms. To date, I have completed "Steampunk: Favorite Art Form" and the "Merry Christmas Tree". Today, I introduce Emma.
Emma enters stage right.
Using my Gesso recipe (from "MomPodge, the mother of Gesso and Modeling Paste), the first step will be to cover the body form, front and back.
Using a black grosgrain ribbon, tack on a variety of laces. This will be hot glued to the bottom of the body form.
Using a gathering stitch, the skirt is made with three different laces. The bodice and waist areas are using two different laces - all of which were on hand. The rosette is also a lace which I added a little diamond bling. The "necklace" is simply a single earring.
Here we have a view of the backside. The applique on the back, comes from the "thrift shop wedding dress", I've mentioned in some of my altered bottle art.
A pompom is added under the top layer of the skirt to give it a lift.
Strands of rhinestones and dangling earrings add the bling to the lower layer
My debutant, Emma, is now ready to make her debut.
