MINIATURES VINTAGE WARDROBE SHADOW BOX...

Hello my Lovelies, warning this is photo heavy, lots to show you.This took me  almost 2 weeks to make it all, and I dropped it  off yesterday..

This wardrobe is filled with the Princess Tonniece's special ball gowns and fancy hats and some lovely smelling perfume.. 

You might have use to the larger setting for the details of the miniatures
For this hat, I cut out the center of a tea dyed crocheted dollie, I cut out a circle of fine shiny netting, I actually cut out 2, the first one, the hole was to big , glued it to the crocheted piece, I took the other net piece and did a running stitch in the middle around the circle, to make a tiny flower, it turned out more like a tuff, I glued it on glued 3 tiny pieces of tea dyed lace standing them up and glued a tiny white rose behind them to hold them up. I added three beads,  a few tiny feathers ,painted the edge white. I have the hats sitting on small Styrofoam ball covered in tea dyed lace..

I had the tiny glass bottles in my stash, and  the other  two I had made from beads  a while back, I colored the cameo's hair red to remind Tonniece, I'm always with her..

This hat was an earring my friend gave me, I made a broach out of the mate. It looked like a flower before, I bent all the petals backwards to form the brim, glued some feathers and anchored them with a bead, I lined the brim with rusted material and tea dyed lace.

For the dress forms I used the ones I use for my dress, I cut off the skirt to a body shape, cover them with book pages painted with watered gesso, the breast are ear plugs, I cut the tip off, perfect shape :O) I painted them with gesso, then had to make a bra, I was using lace for the tops

Glued some ribbon in the middle then glued the ends in the back.

I made all of the skirts out of old lace handkerchiefs. I cut them into quarters pieces, then used two of them in a triangle shape.

I made the top parts of the dresses out of all my tea dyed laces, added jewels from my broken jewelry, hand bags, and a crotchet shawl 

Sheila and I had a lovely time visiting Tonniece, seeing her new craft room, we are planning a craft day this week, that will be so much fun you all know there is nothing better then crafting with friends. Thanks for hanging around and let me share what I created for my Best Friend it was truly a work of love. I still have her BD Purse card to show you....
