Paper Couture Hiatus

We are coming to the end of the paper corset project and this is about the time I would announce the new project for the year. In order to free up more time to spend on my metaphysical and aromatherapy studies, I won't be diving in to any new projects for at least the next six months.

It might be nice to focus on creating displays for all of the many paper dresses and corsets I have collected over the past 2 years that are now doomed to spend eternity in a drawer, never to see the light of day. I think they need rescuing.

Haha! Maybe I can call this the paper couture rescue project. At any rate, even though you won't see a regularly posted project every month you can still count on seeing fabulous paper crafting ideas and templates as well as more posts on the tarot and magical arts. :)

Artist Spotlight: Jeannine Boyce

Struggling for ideas and ways to display your paper dress and corset projects? I was recently contact by artist Jeannine Boyce who has graciously provided photos of her beautiful and creative displays for me to share with you here.

This corset display is probably my favorite. I love all the vintage findings, the bits of aged ephemera used as wall paper and the overall antique feel of this piece. This is a magnificent example of a look that isn't overly complicated to create and yet the result is pure charm.

Another very cute display is this armoire idea. Look how absolutely adorable these dresses look in here. Jeannine, you did such a nice job on your dresses too.

Personalize and turn your armoire into a little boutique display. Totally adorable! Ya'll know I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile but still haven't managed to get around to it. Thank you Jeannine for providing us with some gorgeous inspiration to help get us all started.
