I Dreamt I was in Paris and it was all about the Dress

 Time for another great challenge over at Creative Artiste this month. We only have a few rules to play. Your project must be Mixed Media and can be an ATC, tag, card, layout, altered art or an off-the-page project as long as you follow the challenge specifications. You must use more then 3 different mediums on your project to qualify for our mixed media rules. 

This is my project for this month, an altered dress form.



This is the dress form I started with that I found at a thrift store. 




To start my project I tea dyed an assortment of ribbons and lace from my stash and the medical bandage wrap I used for the top of the dress.

The other products I used were acrylic paints, letters, Dimensional Pearls, glues, buttons, tea bags and assortment of finding. 
 

More views of the dress.

I added a wooden tag which I added my theme and a metal tag of the Eifel Tower.
