ISN'T SHE LOVELY?
I may have told you that I have an obsessive love of mannequins, and I'm proud to show you my project that incorporates a few items from a previous posting.

On another blog, I posted awhile ago, I regaled at finding a bounty of jewels on a handmade Christmas Tree at an antique mart.

Well here is what I used some of the jewels on...a thrown out black velvet mannequin that I bought for a dollar from some some guy in the Fashion district.

Recently, I decided to try and finish her off in style and added some rhinestone detailing to the empty areas of the form. I think it came out quite nicely, and I will do more, but for now - here's JEWELI!!

I knew she had potential.
