GIRLY TRINKET BOX

This little trinket box I made for my daughter's girlfriend, Heather. My daughter did a gorgeous mural of Paris in Heather's bedroom using similar colors.

ROSY MAE

Rosy's crown is a foil wrapper I saved from a Valentine's Day chocolate. I placed the foil face down on a piece of foam and them pressed a crown stamp into it. I then filled the back with glue for added strength.

OLD TOWN

I used Folk Art Crackle Medium on this piece to get an aged look. After making a mold with one of my favorite stamps I use the mold to make a polymer clay embellishment. Then I added Dymo embossed tape cut into pieces to spell out "OLD TOWN".

THE PINK CORSET

I wanted to do a piece that was a little grungy, but still feminine. I use a lime green with a burnt umber wash, then added the romance effect with a scroll stamp dipped in burnt umber. I wanted a more blotchy look, so I chose paint over ink. The girl is an image transfer, with certain areas painted with a pink wash to maintain transparency.

Can you imagine having to wear one of these things. What women do for beauty always amazes me. The human waist was never meant to be that small.
