My Faux Statue...

whom Lovely Man has christened Titty Ha Ha!
When I saw Carol's tutorial for altering dress forms (check out The Polka Dot Closet) I just knew I had to do one and I knew just where I wanted to put it.  Recently my lovely boss ordered some stock for our shop (Superior Wine) from a company in California who just happened to sell dress forms for around $10!  AND he kindly ordered one for me! 
So this weekend, armed with Mod Podge, Walnut Ink Crystals, a stash of sheet music and some images from The Graphics Fairy  I got her done.  No sooner was she finished and the Mod Podge nice and dry I installed her on top of my lamp table in the dining room.  I am just so pleased with the way she turned out...totally love her!  Thanks for the inspiration and the tutorial Carol xx

    Oh Rona, she looks great! It was a little tedious though wasn't it? Did you see my post, the Decals came in and they were no good, I was wondering how yours worked out?

    Hi Rona! I really like this and recently bought a couple foam "heads" from Value Village that I plan on modpodging onto for a couple of my antique hats! Looks great with sheet music!
    Thanks for your sweet comment on my Christmas Sled. xo
