Paper Couture

I have several favorite projects that i have done for one reason or another...Many that were done long before i started blogging. I think little by little i am going to add some of the pieces that are near and dear to my heart, to my blog....For those of you who are scrappers you may have seen some of these projects...please bear with me. i am coming to realize that my readership had widely broadened in the past few weeks, so i am adding things that i think my newfound readership might enjoy....thanks for indulging me! I am only adding the stuff i really had fun making...the stuff that when i look at it...i feel good.

This dress was my first attempt at paper couture...the entire dress is made of FiberMark paper...every last bit. I hand cut each and every flower, and then shaped them with a repousse

tools, molding the paper into more realistic looking flowers...final for a touch of glam i put a rhinestone in the center of each flower....I made the dress almost 2 years and many dresses ago...

Thanks Ulla for making me realize yet again how much i love paper...and how much i love creating with paper.

Wow! I can't believe my eyes when I see this. It's so unbelieve, like "how in the world can she do that?" Think I might take this idea from you and do one like this at home. This is so amazing! Good job!

Marah, tell us more about FiberMark paper, I am not familiar with it. It really looks like fabric! And what a brilliant idea to use repousse tools! It makes the flowers look like the old silk flowers...
