Work In Progress Wednesday

 New Project - the Mini Torso  

A local bead artist, who is the wife of one of my students, encourged me to stitch one of these little beaded dresses.  These mini torso dresses are her specialty.  I ordered several of the little dress forms from a Japanese company called tutu. The company also sells bead dress kits, but I only bought the dress forms because I have many beads and many ideas for how to make the dress. The company promptly sent my order and I had it in only two or three days. I should be able to finish this one soon.

  2. The bead dress is sweet, but I don't think I would wear it in real life!

    You always have interesting projects on the go.

  3. I have done a lot of native american beading, mostly to be worn. I have a beautiful bead doily made by a friend, but it is hard to set something on top, and it doesn't keep its shape if touched. At least the bead dress stays in shape as long as it has a model.

  4. That's a fun dress! So I am sure you will have plenty of fashion items to show us in WIPW reports to come. Is the glass ball ornament for Christmas?
