Remains: Mannequin Transformation Complete!

4

SHE’S ALIVE! Elsa is finally ready for her first show this weekend. We will be taking her with Frankenhearse and Franky to the Hardcore Hearse Club Munsters Themed Show at Fables Frights to meet Butch Patrick and hang out with the club.

My final step of her transformation was to distress the wedding dress we found for her at the thrift store. I always have a blast distressing clothes and this was no exception. I will admit at one point during the process I did wonder whose dream dress I was destroying as I was taking a box cutter to it and spraying it down with a mixture of water and paints.

Then when it was all said and done I could not help but think I just created a new dream dress for Elsa. I couldn’t help but clap after Frank helped me get it on her and I saw the whole thing come together. I could not be happier with the way it all turned out.

Here is a side by side comparison…

The 1st photo shows what the mannequin looked like when my mother in law found her for me. The 2nd photo is after I painted her, added my wig and necklace and then tried on the vintage wedding dress we found at the thrift store. The 3rd photo is my final creation after distressing the dress and putting her all back together again!

I may still paint her nails black just for some added girly fun. The great thing is her hands come off so I can do that whenever I feel like it. ha ha.

Dead Girl Decay: Burlesque Vintage Owl Barrette

0

This barrette that I made is now owned by one of my best friends, Heather.

The middle features a vintage owl brooch sitting on a flower petal and accented with black, brown, turquoise and peacock feathers!

What I love most about making these Burlesque Vintage Decay Barrettes is that they are unique and no two will ever be the same. The barrette or pin is always made with the central focus being a vintage piece of jewelry that is one of a kind.

Check out more of my Dead Girl Burlesque Vintage Decay Barrettes both on my official website and in my Etsy shop! Bookmark these links because I plan to make more of these as I find more vintage pieces of jewelry and once they are gone they are gone!

Stay Spooky!
