I'm up on the Craft-Dee BowZ Blog today with a project featuring this month's theme of butterflies, fairies and shades of aqua.
Aqua is an all time favorite color and I couldn't wait to create something with the gorgeous ribbon and flowers that arrived in my DT package. I've had this plan to alter a burlap necklace bust that I purchased a few months ago, and now was the time to execute it!
I had so much fun embellishing this!
The lace color that I used as the neckline on the bust belonged to my grandmother, who passed away six years ago, just a few months shy of her 100th birthday. So, it was definitely the vintage touch I wanted for the base. I layered floral and jeweled trim around the neckline of the lace collar and added a piece of patterned paper in the v as the dress.
The mini gold photo frame is antiqued using several colors of ink. I embellished it with a rhinestone butterfly from my stash. The photo is my parents on their wedding day.
I created the choker using a string of pearl beads, hot glue and a flower.
The floral cluster on the shoulder is made of burlap and fabric flowers with tulle and leaves tucked in behind them. I added a brass scissor charm to the cluster as well. The gorgeous aqua satin bow was created using my Craft-Dee BowZ Bow Making Tool. This tool is always nearby when I am crafting. It makes bow making so easy! The self contained dowel storage makes it portable and easy to take along wherever you are crafting. I actually own two Craft-Dee BowZ and did you know that if you velcro them together on the shorter sides that you can increase the size of your bows? Hmmm… I wonder what I could do with three? It makes bow making so easy!
I tucked a couple of stick pins in the center of the bow as a finishing touch.
