Dress Form (x2)

Good evening everyone!!!

I'm bringing you today some wonderful dress forms -- which have hit the scrapbooking community by WIND STORM! they are SO popular and seen EVERYWHERE! 

I found a small vintage dress form which I molded with the two part putty. Then I poured the dress form in quick cast white resin -- let set and then demolded! (I've actually done this TONS of times.. but here are two of my favorite pieces)

Here is an altered box where the dress form is adorned with a doily skirt, a string of pearls and some glitter glue! Tucked into the back it makes a beautiful addition to this green/brown/white ensemble :) 

and here is a card that was displayed at the AMP CHA booth -- the dress form here takes center stage, also adorned with a doily skirt but there's a beautiful blue cabochon right in the center of the skirt. This cabochon is also quick cast white resin but is colored with alcohol ink! 

Oh the fun you can have with the amazing products brought to you by AMP! -DeeDee

CHA Bound!

As part of the AMP team we get the chance to show off our best molded pieces @ CHA!! Here is one of the cards I sent! I wanted to embrace the scrapbookers, cardmakers, altered artists and paper crafters in general.. so I molded a piece of jewelry and turned it into an embellishment!!

After the card base is complete.. cut inked and assembled.. I worked on my molded piece!

1st - I cast my owl in the 2 part molding putty by mixing equal parts of A and B, then pressing my piece into the putty and allowing it to cure.

2nd - I mixed my quick cast resin (equal parts A and B) until clear

3rd - I added a very minute amount (SO SO Small.. about the size of a diamond in an earring or a grain of sand) of Alumilite's Brown Dye - then mixed it into the clear resin, poured into the mold and allowed it to cure

4th - After it was set I peeled my piece out and dry brushed the little fella with white acrylic and then "stained" him with Rusty Hinge distress stain!

Thanks All!! -DeeDee
