I had some paper mache dress forms and let my mind wonder. I painted them, decopauged tissue paper, then went wild with what I had on hand and what I could get from my crafty mother. I started doing this with the ones with the wiggly eyes. I kept seeing it in my mind, and had to make it. I then went on to the leaf beads (I haven't figured out how to keep them on yet). The plainish one is in purple hues. I also put a "pregnant belly" on one, but haven't figured out how to finish it. Any ideas are appreciated. The last ones came about because I also have an abundance of vintage jewelry parts and pieces. The black one with the rhinestones is my current fav because the rhinestones are from a belt, and I still have most of the belt left to make more. I am currently working on putting a dowel through the upper part to make a jewelry holder. And to answer a question I get all of the time: I try to give them as presents, but with these, I still have all of the ones that I have made:) Click on the pictures to see them whole.
