I finished aging my dress form
(click here to see before)
this is the look I was going for...
and this is her all finished!!!!
after all the the coffee staining,
I went to the fabulous Graphic Fairy and picked out a graphic,
I used the Citra Solv method and transfered the image onto the dress form...
I wanted the caged bottom look,
I had some vintage wire fencing and since she is made of foam,
I just pushed it in...
I painted the wood black and distressed it...
added a number to her...
the great thing about her,
is since she is made of foam you can pin things to her...
and there she is!!!
all antiqued!!!
I love her....
but,
I am going to sell her,
I just can't keep everything...
I better stop looking at her or she will just find a corner somewhere...
lol.
I am joining these parties...

I love her! I would have a hard time parting with her for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your dress form, love the transfer idea, however I would have just covered mine with vintage attire so it would not have helped my crazyness, lol, Beautiful. Hugs Marilou
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea!! Forms helps you to produce high quality products, because it makes analysis easily.
