dress form reveal...

she is done!!!!
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.
