PINQUE PEACOCK proudly introduces our May Guest DT,

Miriam Meserve... owner of Miriam's Crafting Supplies

For a while now I have been wanting to transform

a dress form into a garden, of sorts. Jessica gave

me the opportunity to do this and work with

Pinque Peacock products as a Guest DT, and

there was no way I was going to pass that up!

When I work with their products I always like

to make things that I'm not going to be giving

away because I hate giving them up.

I took a Darice paper mache dress form and colored

as much as I could get to of it with Old Olive color

 Stampin' Spot from Stampin' Up. I took two strips

of natural burlap and wound them around the form,

then in between them and extending farther down the

form I added a line of actual vintage trim that I got

 from a local closeout shop. I also added a line of pearl

 trim on the edge of one of the strips of burlap.

      Then, the real fun began. I pulled out all my

 Pinque Peacock products as well as some vintage

buttons from my grandmother as well as items from my

store; Miriam's Crafting Supplies and my stash. Since I

wasn't laying the felt poppers down flat and their

back was exposed I used a flat back fabric covered

button on the back of one and some vintage buttons

on the other. I used some more fabric covered buttons

in the center of some homemade flowers out of lace

and fabric and gave her a “necklace” of mulberry

paper flowers. I placed two flower metal embellishments

and one “flat” one on her and bent them to fit her shape.

On her back, I used a Pinque Peacock Layerd Garden Beauty

flower on which I placed a 7mm flat back pearl in order to

make it blend it with the color scheme a bit more

 and some sticker bling from Recollections that a

friend RAKed me. I used four lengths of beading

chain and made some dangles with charms on the

end. As a bit of extra sparkle I added Stickles to

the metal embellishments, charms and to the felt poppers.

      The dress form was inspired by a project made

by Angela Holt and the dangles from a project by

Virginia “Dare” Burnett. I learned the basic method for

making the fabric flowers on Heather Bailey's blog.
