| Altered Torso 1: Fashionista |
Recently, I came up with the concept of creating a Book Of Me using the Altered Torso as the medium of expression. Today I'm sharing my first torso in the series:
Fashionista.
Fashionista was inspired by Gingersnap Creation's November Focus On Fabric theme. I layered strips of beautiful sheer fabric over white cardstock to allow the true colors to show through, leaving one shoulder bare for a hint of sassiness. I created the belt from a strip of thin satin ribbon, and added a Making Memories ribbon slide to create the buckle. The original ribbon slide was a little plain for my tastes, so I added Icicle Sticles for a touch of sparkle. I then added the pearls - which I removed from a pre-made Rusty Pickle tag - and also added a touch of the Icicle Stickles to them. I used the opened-up end of a paper clip to apply the stickles to ensure that the liquid did not drip everywhere, and adhered the pearls using Diamond Glaze.
I'm entering
