Pimp My Dress Form: The 'She's got Legs' conclusion

Happy Monday one and all. 

I tell you, the weekend isn't long enough. Just when I get through with all the stuff I didn't have time to do during the week, Sunday evening us upon me. 

Don't you hate that?

I did manage to get some stuff done, though.

On Saturday completely cleaned house. Mopped the bathroom and kitchen floors, and set up the final touches of my drawing area.

Onda is still camera shy.

Everyone recalls my journey with Onda.

Pimp my dress form conclusion.

Im done. Im glad Im done.

I decided to give Onda some bling by transferring my actual tattoo onto her. I added some color, but its position is pretty spot on.

People always ask me what I have on my back so I can now just show them Onda. Case closed!

Pimp my dress form; redux.

Meet Josephine, my new head form.

Id actually planned her way before Onda because I wanted a head bust in a larger size (23") but didn't want to pay crazy bank for one. She started out as an aluminum foil head, and I was going to cover it in sculpy.

As I worked on Onda, I decided to do Josephine the same way, but used linen strips for the cover. I know she looks like a mummy, but I like the basic shape and no face.

She can wear a hat and thats what matters. I like the looks so much that Im re-shooting all the hats in my etsy store.

Onda is almost finished. Im piecing the back of her now because I ran out of the green linen. I was listening to The Mighty Wind Soundtrack (because its awesome) while I was painting Onda in glue and I realized, "Im sick of this glue stuff." I cant wait until shes done.

This was way too much work.

So Onda and I have been talking (about as much as one can talk with a headless dress form), and she thinks she's a bit 'under matched'. I mean she does look home made. Not that there is anything against that, its just she has a store bought personality.

Women.

After thinking on it a bit and realizing if I didn't do something to her I wouldn't use her, I decided to reshape her shoulders a bit, and give her a bit of a sleek look. I give all the credit to my little friend below.

Oh Elmer, is there anything you cant mildly fix?

After the shoulder shape up, I coated Onda's duct tape innards in a single layer of newsprint and glue/water mixture.

From there I decided to draft a cover (linen) that I can't WAIT to coat in the glue mix. I LOVE that stuff! After I draped the side (my first attempt at it) I matched the fabric and did some quick sewing.

I had to shape the boobs a bit more than original, and draping the sewn piece back in place was a bit of a challenge, Im getting it. Once the front is coated and dry, Ill drape the back and Onda will feel like a million bucks.
