Assemblages and Don't Call Me Shirley.......

A few months ago I had the good fortune of finding 8 inch by 8 inch shadow boxes at Hobby Lobby marked down to a ridiculously low price so I bought a few.......8 to be exact.

 This one has been down with fabric flowers, a tin box painted with a crown, picture of the Eiffel Tower and black feathers.  The lady in the box is from Tumble Fish Studio's "Diva's Digital Kit" and "15 Dresses Digital Kit".

 Getting into that Halloween/Fall mood with this assemblage.  I used a vintage chocolate label for the background.  The girl dressed up as a clown is movie star from the 1920s and early 1930s, Clara Bow.  She stared in 46 silent films and 11 talkies.  She was known at the "It Girl" because she had it all as a movie star in the 1920s.
 How exciting would it be to celebrate Halloween in Paris?  Clara, the Eiffel Tower and the full moon are all raised from the background at various levels.  The orange leather heart and the black suede flowers and also dimensional.


My crafting BFF, Tracey has a full sized dress form that she named "Shirley".  Inspired by "Shirley" I made these dress form pendants made out of leather, painted and over-stamped.  

 The funny thing is that a few years ago I bought a stamp that said, "don't call me Shirley" and so I stamped it on back of the pendant.
Well, all you Shirleys out there, have a great Monday!
