I have dreams to one day acquire a true vintage dress form
like this or even one like this
but for now I have this lovely child size one!
You will find her simply dripping with
WEDDING Trade Beads
and conus shells
most days.
But a few weeks ago I decided that I needed a apron that expressed the true me!
This is the Prof that I am a nerd at heart!
just in case I forget my name!
its a little slot that I added to hold my business cards.
and we must never forget to inspire!
I used Kukui nuts
on the back of my neck strap so it looks like I have on a necklace.
and I used some crazy stitching to connect the ribbon to the tie.
I stamp text on coffee stained muslin then I created the ties.
and we must always have heart so that we:
"Let The Beauty We Love Be What We Do"

Ruth, what a wonderful dressform and I love the tribal beads. They're just beautiful! Are those also large shells? They're really cool and I love the apron you created. What a fun idea to create an apron to express yourself--sort of like an inspiration apron. Hmm...I may have to try that sometime. Thanks so much for joining us and don't forget--next week is our sewing machines! ;)

Oh, I love your dress form and how it shows off the beads. I also, love the colors of your aprons. Great job...
