Hey Ya's! I hope you are all having a beautiful week so far and ready for the weekend! :)
Well, today I have something quite different to show you .. I've altered my first metal dress form and I had a B-L-A-S-T! Yes, I burned my fingers at least 20 times, and even blistered and tore my skin with one of the burns from the hot glue dripping on my fingers .. but I thoroughly enjoyed putting this together .. hahahaha!
This metal dress form is almost 2 feet tall (YES! Tall right?! LOL!) and she's decorated with lots of flowers, bling, lace, tulle, yarn, pearls, and gems all from my stash.
Here's a closeup of her top half .. and do you see that heart tucked in there where our own heart would be? :) The large flower by her waist is actually pink (but it looks orange here) .. I bought that flower 4 years ago .. and have finally found the perfect project to use it for. :)
I've added little metal flowers with bling all around her dress:
And I've added a string of pearls and crystals on the side of all that ribbon:

And here is what this dress form had looked like prior to altering:
Well, I appreciate you stopping by to visit me .. I truly love it when you do! And for those of you here in the States .. wishing you a FABULOUS & SAFE 4th of July!!!!!!! I'll see you again soon!
Big Hugs,
Elise
