SOYBS – Life is Blue – Dress form
Boy has my life been busy for someone who works part time. Aside from having a “hiccup” in my family, work has been crazy. I am surprised to even know my name these days.
“Life is Blue” incorporates different shades of blue paints some regular and some metallic for the base of the form and then a mixture of an iridescent blue and Diamond Glaze as a coating over the punched flowers and gold butterfly (to help them to adhere). I began the form by using a glue stick to adhere torn music sheets to it in varying placements before painting it.
The frame is one of those that have points that dig into the paper then fold over, so I cut 4 little notches into the form and used “The Ultimate” to glue it into place over a picture that was glue sticked into place, then I applied Diamond Glaze over the picture. The feathers and flowers are glued together with The Ultimate then dried, then glued into place using E6000.
The base it is on was done using unused rubber stamp blocks from Stampin Up. I painted them first with copper paint then with iridescent green. They are then glued together with E6000.
