It was ages I wanted to create a dress made out of paper (well, one of my wildest dream is to make one real size...maybe one day, who knows!): and what a better place to attach it to an old book cover?
Da tempo sbirciavo diversi lavori su Pinterest con vestitini fatti di carta, e non vedevo l'ora di provarne a farne uno...magari sulla copertina di un vecchio libro?
I used dictionary pages and, by chance, the word 'moda' (means fashion).
I used few supplies and a simple MixedMedia technique: I glue down bit of lace and the chipboard dressform with DecoArt Media Clear Embossing Paste.
La tecnica è molto semplice, ho incollato i pezzi di pizzo e il manichino di cartoncino con la pasta embossing trasparente sulla copertina del libro.
When dry I covered with DecoArt Media white gesso.
Da asciutto ho poi ricoperto con del gesso bianco
I added a bit of DecoArt Media black gesso along the borders
Ho sporcato un pò i bordi con del gesso nero
I created the sumptuous skirt using dictionary pages and vintage paper dress pattern, gluing the layers using DecoArt Media Matte Medium.
Ho creato la gonna incollando e piegando pagine di libro e cartamodelli vintage:
And last touch I added blink and colours with my favourite metallic pastes: DecoArt Metallic Lustre.
E l'ultimo tocco, ho colorato e reso perlescente il tutto con le paste metalliche:
