I found every item on this dress form assemblage at sales, but you can find the paper mache dress forms at the craft stores. If you have never purchased one of Teresas ezines they are wonderful... full of tips and ideas. You can check them out herehttp://www.paperbellastudio.com/ I'm sure that little tidbit was redundant for most of you as she is the Silver Bella Queen but there may be someone out there who hasn't seen her blog!
This next one is a handsome young man who ofcourse I do not know but just fell in love with his picture when I came across it at an antique store. Doesn't he look like someone who made a great success of his life? So ofcourse he needed a party hat to celebrate!
After making the crepe paper ruffle I went to my trusty vintage typewriter to type out the words Make your Mark. In my heart I knew he did!
So that's my first offering for the party, next week I may have to go through some of the platters I have collected to make these assemblages... Click on the link at the top of the page to see the other party goers! Thank you Beth for hosting! Have fun at the party! ~ Theresa xoxoI'm bringing this post out of the vault for Cindys Creative Spirit party... I wish I had time to make something new ( so does my brain, the ideas are getting a bit crowded in there!) I hope to be able to create something soon, in the mean time I thought I'd bring this back for anyone who didn't see it before. Have fun at the party! Thanks Cindy!!
Thanks as always for stopping by! Theresa xoxo

Hi Theresa, your assemblages are beautiful! I especially love the one with the dress because of the sweet embellishments like the necklaces and the tape measure. Happy Silver Sunday!

Using trays is such a great idea. I've been collecting them for awhile with the intention of doing the same....now I need to actually DO IT!:)) Love Yours!

ReplyDeleteI love what you're doing with the silver platters. (Oh, wasn't that the name of The Brady Bunch group..you know, the episode where the Brady kids buy a silver platter for their parents anniversary, then they form a horrible singing group called "The Silver Platters" to pay for the gift). Anyway, back to YOUR silver platters. It's always nice to see someone using something that may otherwise end up in the trash.
I collect vintage photos and sell my overstock on Etsy. So...I adore it when someone uses vintage photos in their art. It's always interesting to see each artist's ideas for those old photos.
Thanks for sharing:

Well thank you for bringing it back because I had not seen it before and love it! I have a few trays that were my grandmothers I really did not know what to do with. I am sure this would make her proud. You never know this may be my inspiration for my next Creative Spirit Challenge. Thanks for sharing it again!
