101110

Just realized that it is another good date today and thought I best get on with a post. I have caught up on a few hearts need to do more. The first one my sister created, it was my birthday card a few weeks ago. This is heart 41.



Then there is the stone heart shaped window I photographed when I went to Daylesford last time, making it heart 42.



This is heart 43, look closely and you will see that I have used heart shaped sequin waste. More on what I have been doing with this dress form follows.



I have enjoyed seeing the dresses that have been made as a part of "The Dress Up 2010" project on Alice and Camilla. I wanted to see what I could do with the basic shape as a design tool. I cut out a dress shape and then covered it with my printed paper towels and some glitter. This background is a free texture from Boccacino which I found on Linda's blog. The wonderful information that is shared so generously by users of Flickr and those who blog never ceases to amaze me. This first sample shows several dresses on the text background.



I then printed this out onto tissue paper so that I can use it for gift wrap.



Here is a gift box. The image has been sprayed with inks and embellished with oil pastels.




Then fabric.



A drawstring bag with another image on fabric I have used lace and sari ribbons.



Finally some mail art with the image included.



I feel sure I should be more adventurous. Hope that you are all safe from the cold and wind.
