Today I was working on a new dress form. Key word...WAS!
I love making them, this one is going to be really awesome! I found a antique kerosene lantern bottom and I will be using it for the base. It is rusty and red and it will be very interesting. I have got as far as all the drilling and screws secured and dress form attached. I made the pattern and cut out the corset. I embossed the corset and have to sew it together. That's where it ended. I was getting frustrated in the fitting of her busts in proportion to her waist. So it is off to the side!
So what to do?
Play with embossing paste!
I have fallen in LOVE with Paste.....
Just like the 1st grade, when I ate paste.
Then in 3rd and 4th grade I would put it on my hands and face and let
it dry, then peel it off like my skin was coming off!
But this time it is a Embossing Paste by Studio 490 - Wendy Vecchi!
I am going to have to go to embossing paste's anonymous!
Or my husband better get a raise, or I better get a job! Because at
this rate, I am going to need cases of this stuff! Seriously LOVE it!
I can't wait to get the crackle paste!
I am at the point I am making things out of my color comfort zone, flowers, me?
Since when?
At least I got a little grunge in this one. Not much though!

Wow, love your piece! Such fun items and your flowers are amazing! I haven't been able to find her white paste yet in my local store, but have found her black paste and love it. I will give it a go when I find it. Thanks for the kind visit today and words on my card.
