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. 
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.
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.

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.

I have 2 projects in the New Prims Magazine....Summer 2013 issue.

I love being a part of such a cool magazine.
I have been in over 50 in the past.....but it is always nice to be in such a good quality magazine....I love Somerset studio mags!
Ok...I will admit it...I am addicting to them.
One project is this cool crow ....  I love decorating for patriotic holidays....which are coming!

The other project is my flag ....  I tell what inspired me and some how tos~
The best place to get Prims magazine is Barnes and Noble.
Have a happy Monday!
