After receiving and thoroughly studying my copy of Somerset Studio (Jul/Aug 2012) magazine I fell in love with the Ranger Challenge Liquid Pearls & Stickles little dress forms. After mulling that over for about a month, I hunted up the two mini dress forms I had and started to work. They are both papier mache, both about 8 inches tall. Even taller once they were glued to the candlestick holders. One was covered with Chinese paper and varnished so I had to cover it myself.
Here they are! I love them!
Here's the back of each one.
Here's the front of the one on the left. I love the old watch necklace, multiple ribbons and the little flowers.
The back has a little bustle of pink lace.
Here's a close up of the one on the right. Again I used an old watch as a pendant.
Since the front of this form was rather plain, I decided to add flowers to the back of her costume. I also had the two glass candlestick holders in the cupboard that were gathering dust and not much else. Used them as pedestals for the forms. What do you think??
