Shabby Chic Chicken Wire Dress Form

Dressed in her Shabby Chic Best

Remember those Chicken Wire Dress Forms that Frankie helped make me?  Well Miss Shabby, here, has been dressed up for any ShABbY CHiC occassion.  She has been paper mached, painted, mixed media collaged and is ready to go!  I have had this plan ever since we made the dress forms and just now getting around to making one. 

As usual plans and ideas changed and ......  then in the end she just turned out the way she wanted!  She was determined to have a mind all of her own when it came to her wardrobe.  The back is just as pretty, she had to have a bustle!

Hope you have enjoyed meeting Miss Shabby. 

Miss Shabby and I will be linking up for Happy Pink Saturday, at How Sweet The Sound, be sure to go by and visit. They love pink almost as much as I do!  We will also be stopping by to party at Shabbilicious Friday Link Party, so come join us.

 

Stay Charmed!

Altered Picture Frame

Hi Everyone,
Today's post and Etsy listing is for an altered picture frame with a mixed media collage technique.  It has an off-white crackle finish on the frame and the area surrounding the picture.  The matte is loaded with several different laces, muslin fabric, french script paper, ribbon and cheesecloth.  All has been tea stained for a worn and vintage look. 

The frame will hold a 3.5 " x 3.5" picture.  I have added a picture of my Great Grandmother, Bessie Herring, taken when she was about 8 years old.  It can be removed to place your own picture.

Don't forget to check out everyone listed on the right for Bloggers' Bodega!

Vintage Girl Mixed Media Collage

Hi Everyone,
Hope your week has gotten off to a wonderful start! Today, I made a mixed media collage, using an image that I purchased for Digital Things.  Love the vintage girl enjoying her Coca Cola.  It is on an 8 x 8 inch canvas that has been painted and layered with lots of lace, torn paper, tattered muslin, and tea bag roses.  I will be listing this on My Etsy Shop. 
Thank you for stopping by today.  Don't forget to take a look at everyone joining in on the blog listed on the right.
