This is the fate of my local grocery flyers. I love reusing/re-purposing found objects. Makes me think of my old Art University days. :) Plus I love free!
So, what am I doing? Building a better bird's nest? Nope! Paper mache, baby, and kick'n it up a notch with glue. Pray tell, what are you making, you say? Why, a dummy of course!
Seriously, I am. Thanks to the loan of one incredibly patient size 6x cutie and my over indulging yarn purchasing, I am attempting to make myself a child dress form on a next to nothing budget. Thanks to the inspiring tutorial in "Custom Knits" by Wendy Bernard, I just might pull this one off. The mission statement: dress form must be accurate in size, sturdy and pretty. I'd like to use it as a display mannequin at some future knitting booth I may do. Tall order? hmmmm. We'll see. If it is a success, I hope to post my construction techniques here. Wish me luck!
