The Little White Dress

Art Tutorial 23

By Lynne Suprock

I have in my closet, two little black dresses that I adore.  So simple but elegant.  The legacy of all little black dresses, yes?

Well, today I decided that white would suit a simple mixed media project I had been sleeping on for awhile now.  My friend and neighbor, Brenda gifted me two small Ginny Dolls.  They were in very good condition and so were their little clothes.  I studied them for a few days and decided to reproduce them to use in a jewelry project.  

White would be perfect, so that I could add color easily if I wanted to later.  To do this, I needed molding compounds.  First, I needed to cast the dress, then fill the impression with a durable product that when finished, could be applied to little books or worn as jewelry.

The products I chose were Knead-A-Mold and Apoxie Sculpt, Super White.  I demo how to make the little white dress below, on my YouTube channel.  Click and Enjoy!

This is an AMAZING gift idea, and so simple to do.  Seriously...simple!  I got to thinking after a friend posted pictures of a few favorite dinnerware pieces found at a popular retail store.  I loved the pieces as well, but could never happen upon them while out.  Part of shopping for me is the thrill of the hunt....so, yeah, I could've ordered some online, but did not.  Instead, I thought I would try my Pebeo Paints, Porcelaine 150 for ceramic, combined with my Gel Press for monoprinting and give it a go myself.  I collect eclectic stuff as well, so this was as eclectic as they come.

Here is an image of one of my pieces.  Follow the link to learn a few of the how-to tips and supplies used.  Happy creating!
