I am so honored and excited to have been selected to be published in the May/June
Somerset Studio Magazine!
Page 44
Yes I am!
Often wonder where the artist gets inspiration from?
I do!
This is where I got mine!
Yep, this rusty piece of junk!
I thought, I died and went to heaven! Really, I did!
the story is told in the article and I don't want to
give it away, so I will leave it to your imagination.
In the meantime, I will take you through my mind process.
Wish I could get this kind of makeover!
From that ↑ to this! ↓
I wish!
Somerset Studio took this beautiful photo!
Shows the dress form in it's true glory.
Yes, this is how my mind works.
Take a box, junk, drills, adhesives and plenty of idea-ology and Ranger products and toss it around on my table until it no longer looks tossed in my head.
A beautiful mess!
Drives my husband NUTS!
As I go along, I might see something and think it may be cool, then try it.
Sometimes things just don't work out.
THEN..........
Times when they just do!
Check out those picture corners! ↓
I loved them the minute they went on!
I had no idea at the time, but I tried them on and it just (they) fit!
No measuring!
This picture shows the process up till the box.
Did you see her shoulder? It is a idea-ology foundation.
Suppose to be on the bottom of a box or something like that?
NaH! Great shoulder!
Close up
Theses are the pictures that I took.
By the way, this is a night light!
I added a light kit to the back so that it would light up.
You can see it in the photo that Somerset Studio took.
Thank you to Somerset Studio for letting me share with the world!
I used tim holtz's idea-ology line, pieces off of the time machine, found box and metals, pipes from my dad's stuff. Distress inks.
Have a great week!
