Live with Prima Class Part 2

As promised, this week there is a video tutorial on how to make this project with the Dress Form that was created in last week's video.

In the video, you can see all the steps on how to create this.  There are lots of beautiful Prima products that I included, along with lots of Prima Mediums, included Sculpture Medium.

You can  watch the video right here.  




I also wanted to include the close-ups here on my blog so you can see the details.

Live with Prima Video Class-Dress Form

Hi everyone!  I'm excited to share my first Video Class for Live with Prima today!  These classes are in a quicker format but still cover all the instructions needed to create the projects.  Of course, if you have any questions, you can contact me and I'll help!

Here is today's project.  I'll be using it in a project next week, so drop back by next Thursday! Also, you can watch the video right here, too! 

I wanted to also include some close-ups here today so that you can see the details well.

 

 

Sculpture Medium from Prima Marketing

Have you seen the new Sculpting Medium from Prima?  It was just released, but I was lucky enough to get to play with it for CHA samples.  This stuff is so COOL!  I created this dress for my dress form using Sculpting Medium with muslin.  So what does it do?  It makes your fabrics, flowers, etc.  very stiff!  This is awesome because that allows all your work to hold it's form.  So COOL!  I loved working with it!

A good example is this fabric bow, flowers and leaves.  They all have Prima Sculpting Medium applied, so they all still look exactly like this!  It allowed me to make the fabric look really full and make the dress opening without any worry of it drooping over time!  Did I say this stuff is COOL?

If you worked with muslin before, you know that it is very light weight.  Look how this bodice on my dress stands up even with all the color, glue and beads applied.  It's not going anywhere and again, it will stand the test of time.

Finally, one more photo to show the details.  The sculpture medium works beautifully on the Prima fabric flowers.  I can't wait to give it a try on other flowers, fabrics and anything else I might want to experiment with!

Be sure to check with your favorite scrapbooking supplier to find yourself some of this!  You are going to love this new product from Prima!

Live with Prima

Hi y'all! Recently, I was asked to do a show for Live with Prima.  I was sooooo excited for this opportunity!  It was really fun!

Here is the project that I created.  As you know by now, I'm a HUGE dress form fan!  They are so fun to create and such a great little extra to set around in your home decor.

 If you missed the show and would like to see it, you can watch it right here!



For this one, I made the bodice using Prima doily dies.  I loved the lacy look that this allowed.

I also gave a bit of edge by adding metals to the soft, pretty look.

More details of the back.  I added several different textures and shapes.

Hope you will take a look at the class!  Feel free to ask any questions that you might have and I would love to see your take on the dress form, if you make one!

Also, don't forget to watch Live with Prima every Tuesday and Thursday!!!

Dress Form Class with Flying Unicorn

Hi y'all!  As promised, here are some close-ups of my class project.  I'm a little late posting them, so I would like to apologize to anyone who has been waiting!  We've been so crazy busy and had to go out of town.  But... here they are!  :)

If you didn't get a chance to see the show live, here it is!  I would love to hear what you think and to see anything you create based on my classes!

Here is the full length photo of the dress form.

 

This is the top of the form.  I shared every step in the class, so you can see all the techniques there.
