Vintage steampunk Mannequin dress form

I have been having the funnest time making my mannequins to sell....

I have not made any in a while....they are addicting.

This is a medium size mannequin....made from Tim Holtz fabric.

It measures: 14 1/2" high...8" wide. 

This is in my Mrs. Tiddlemouse etsy shop.

My mom used to call me tiddlemouse.

It has a has a dyed cheesecloth tie around the waist, a buckle on the cheesecloth belt, a gear near the bottom, pins, more gears, Huge rusty wire wings, a wool heart with safety pin at the top, a brown spool of thread, and a brass/black stand. You can use this for you sewing supplies or to display your jewelry.  

I kinda hope it doesn't sell...so I can just keep it.

As if I need another pincushion. 

I attached the thread....with a string....it can be replaced later when it is all used up.

It is hard to see, but I aged the brass stand with some cool black metal patina stuff.

My patterns for mannequins....of all forms...can be found here.

There are mini, medium, large, Santa, and witch. 

  I found the wire ...there is no more...it is a one of a kind.

My daughter and I sometimes go hunting around for rusty items by the railroad tracks.

It is pretty close to us and it is like treasure hunting.

Some more finished pincushions can be found here.

By the way....there is a fun new show called "Thrift hunters" on Spike TV......It is so much fun,

but I warn you....you will want to go thrift shopping right after watching the show.

 

Come to Fancy this Fridays
