Vintage Camera

Pt 3 all put together just have to add some details!! Loving how this it turning out!






PT2 - It's coming along nicely!





Hey all!! I'm working on something and wanted to share the beginning of something great. I've wanted to make a mini book that looks like a vintage camera for awhile and at the time no one in the scrap world had created this....well before I could even start one I was on the Scrapbeach Ning site and saw ButterbeesScraps created one!!! What that can't be...lol. Well if you haven't seen it check it out on youtube. Well I didn't give up my dream and here's the start to something great!! I made the bellows from canvas. I will share more pictures as I complete this little treasure...enjoy.

Here's a look from the front...I've cleaned it up a bit since this picture was taken..and the bellows really move like the real thing!!


Bellows are meant to keep light out when a photo is taken so I had to paint them black!! I used the Tim Holtz black acrylic paint dabber to paint the canvas. Stay tune more to come!
Thanks,

Altered Dress form

Have you all seen these little dress forms at M's??? They are so cute and easy to alter!! I made this one as a Thank You gift.....her favorite color is pink so I did this one up in pink and black. I even took out my sewing machine and made a little black dress, do you all remember making doll clothes??? I hand drew the vines and painted them and added the paper roses...nice touch huh? The large pink flower is also handmade. Then I loaded her up with sequins and pearls. Well head to your nearest M's and grab one of these girls and see what you can do....have fun!
