A Sneak Peek Inside Alice's Paper Corset

Don't you just love the arty look of this paper corset?! I'm trying out a new and different approach to artfully handmade paper fashion that I think will open up more possibility for embellished detail

Happily my perfectionistic inner critic with a penchant for symmetry seems to be embracing the small variations that give handmade items their charm. Have I have triumphantly beaten her into submission at last? Ha!

These photos are a down and dirty sneak peek that don't really do this corset justice but at least you get an idea of what can be done with paper once thinking outside the flat paper box begins.

So, what's next? I did write in an earlier post that adding fabric was too easy. I think I'ma have to eat a little crow on that one because that's exactly what I wanna do. Paper will still be the major design element with fabric added only as an accent so maybe this was the distinction I was originally trying to get across. We'll see how well that works out for me. (tee hee :)

The Magic of the White Fairy

As ethereal as moon beams, White Fairy glows in flowing white skirts with touches of pale green that align her with the magical energies of nature.

With pale pink roses and oh so delicate touches of flourish, she is the picture of fairy perfection! I'll leave you to imagine the whisper of her fluttering wings!

There's no template for this one, girls. She's all mine! The video below will show you how I put her together just to give you some inspiration about just how creative you can get with these.
