Dressing Up Artist Mannequins

I have been having so much fun dressing up these artist's mannequins.  

I loved the idea of creating a ballerina.  I used polymer clay for her hair and ribbon for her bodice and tutu.  I painted her shoes, added pearl beads to the bodice and a braided hairpiece to complete her.

This was a fun one to make.  I call her my Forest Mannequin.  Her dress is made of felt with a multi colored ribbon tied at the waist.  She holds a bouquet of flowers picked fresh from the meadow this morning.

This one is a work in progress. I plan on making her a very fashionable young lady! Her hair and hat were created using polymer clay.  Stay tuned to see her completed.

I've Been Busy Creating

As you can see, I have been quite busy in my craft room. 

 A dear friend of mine asked if I could create a hummingbird.  Well, here is my first attempt at making one.  I added a bit of sparkle to his wings and tail feathers.

I love paper dresses!  I made this one out of card stock (which I embossed) crepe paper, satin ribbon and a satin bow.  I mounted it on a 5"x7" canvas which I painted pink and personalized it with my daughter's name. I have this one for sale in my Whimsy Kreations Shop.

I created this little scene on a 6"x6" canvas which I painted a copper color. I spritzed Glimmer Mist over a stencil to give it a pattern then added my embellishments. I used polymer clay to make the bird who is sitting on twigs that I gathered from my yard.  I added a flower and the word 'Imagine' to make it complete.

This is Forest Fred who has been busy gathering wheat for the winter.  I found this large acorn cap at the Dallas Arboritum a while ago and realized that it fit Fred's head perfectly.  I created him out of polymer clay and gave him black beads for  eyes.

Another Altered Mannequin

I had so much fun working on this artists mannequin.  She's wearing a polymer clay hat, a classy mod podged zebra striped outfit and black painted shoes. After all, what more could a girl want?? 

I removed her from her ridged metal and wood stand so that I could pose her in a more relaxed position. I thought she looked as if she just popped out of a fashion magazine.
