Lily

When I got her she was partially covered

with dirty white medical tape

I had no idea what I was abt to uncover

(of course I didn't think

to take photos until

after I started to rehab her)

she was definitely cracked up

I spackled her together 

over a couple of days

then sanded her smooth

and reapplied more spackle as needed

She was very long and I only

wanted a short mannequin

so my hsb cut her off and 

mounted her on an old

broken ashtray base 

we had

After that I took torn  computer paper

crumpled it up and modpodgd it

on Lily.

This took a few days

and I did it very randomly

Making sure the wrinkles

and imperfections were present

I coated her with a watered down

white acrylic paint

Then sponged on a watered down

linen colored 

acrylic paint

it gave it just enough contrast

and a weathered

down look 

I tried to make sure 

to get in every nook and cranny

 I followed up w 2 coats of matte

Modpodge

The next step

was to add some bling

and viola

Lily is now

a fashion model.....

I am thinking abt making a muslin ruffled

skirt to hang more necklaces from
