If you have purchased my Mini Dressfrom tutorial, don't forget that there are patterns in there to make angel wings for your lil' gal if you want to make a cherub for the holidays.
This one that I did is a little different than the ones in the class, I didn't have the wires coming out of the topper piece, instead I topped it off with a glass button.
Which goes to show you just how flexible the class is. You can customize your dress form as you'd like.
Or if you don't want to make your own.... this one is for sale...
You can find it here.
Is it weird that I like to make paper clay heads and stick them on something that is not really a body? I've been mixing and matching trees, heads, spools, and bottles and feel a bit like that experimenting neighbor kid in Toy Story who mismatched toy parts.
Although mine more shabby chic not sinister.
This angel rests her head on a spool with a mini wreath on it.
I've also been topping bottles with trees.
And stuffing trees into bottles.
Or sticking trees on teensy little pots.
And some bottles have angels as toppers.
This tree is on a spool, all decked out with lots of Good Stuff on it.
And if you'd like to deck out your own tree, I have some plain trees on plain spools too. Ready for you to get creative on.
I'll leave you with some photos of what's new in the Etsy shop and the Boutique.
Sepia and winter white trees...
Red velvety ribbon (a whole roll of vintage trim!)...
A hand tatted little bag...
More decorated trees...
Pink grapes-Pink beads-a Pink doll dress...
A pink carnation...
More pink trees...
And lots more. Thanks for looking!
oooh how stinkin cute! I love your trees. Grace xoox
