Look what I did !!! Funky Women !!!

Well, now its official! I have used every part of the configuration boxes that I used for making my Disney clock. These were the last two boxes I had left, but the first idea I had when I saw those little boxes. I just new I had to make them! They are really little, they just look big in the picture. The gold box is about 3" high and the silver one is about 2". I cant get a good shot, the metal reflects too much, so I hope you can get the idea.

First I painted the boxes, one gold- one silver. (above)

Then I sprayed some Lindys Stamp Gang moon shadow spray onto a piece of paper and dabbed it on the boxes to create a marbled look. (below)

I picked the stamps I wanted... I think they might be from I Brake For Stamps, but I am not 100% on that. I stamped one on silver paper with distress ink. The other one I wound up stamping and embossing with silver embossing powder and cutting it out. That one was on gold paper.

I knew that I wanted one of them to have a corset. I dont sew... but I did okay with this one. I used a piece of flour sack, copper eyelets, and silver metallic embrod. thread to lace it up.

I used some double sided thin metal sheets and put them on adhesive back paper for support. I used 2 different stampin up punches to punch out the arms and legs. I attached them with jump rings and foam dots.

I wanted the legs from one of the boxes to dangle so I took 2 T-bar pins, cut them down (thank you hubby for doing that for me!) and wired it up to the bottom of the box. The legs slipped right over it. I also put the corset around a foam block and pinned it on the back.

Here is the silver box. I cut out the head, and put a piece of copper metal behind it. I cut wings out from a Nestie die and added 2 metalic flower stickers to the hands. I love the Medusa style hair! That looks like me in the morning!!! (no, really, it does...) She is silver and copper.

I think I am in love with her! Look at that face!!! Silver and Gold... dragon fly wings... cigar label belt.. wrapped in wire.... what more could I ask for???

Well, I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

I had a busy day... Disney clock... day 4 (3 wks later.. lol)

I worked on my clock today too. So that would be a layout, my glue caddy, and the clock & mini album for the clock!!! Whew... tired now! So... I did some work to the bottom of the clock... I dont have anything that really will go in a shadow box, so I used 2 pins I got from Disney and 2 key chains of mickeys head dangling down. I added my pics and a few embellishments to the album (couldnt add much cause it cant be thicker than the box, so its mostly just pictures) and put it in the box.


Again, this is inspired by Laura Denison from http://www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/ She had made a GORGEOUS vintage clock for Tim Holtz for the 2011 CHA. I saw it and fell in love!!! I am not going to tell how I made this as it is not my design and I am sure Laura will share as soon as all the materials are out for sale to the public. Mine does differ from hers, hers is much much much better... I made my version. Go check out her blog for details for her upcoming ustream classes, kits, and patterns. She is AMAZING... you wont be disappointed!!! So a big shout out to Laura for inspiring me to finally start using all the stuff I have collected, for thinking outside the box (with a box.. lol) and for sharing your most admirable talents!!! Now, onto the pictures of my work of the day.... just note that the clock face isnt here yet... its on pre-order... so when it gets here I can hopefully finish it! Cause as you will see below, they are still in pieces :)

Thanks for stopping by!

What is it you ask???? Its....

It is.... a glue caddy made with my left over configuration box pieces that I am not using in my clock. I had all these left over pieces and thought.. hmmm.. I have all these different types of glue... foam glue, tacky glue, paper glue, jewel glue, glitter glue, diamond glaze, etc... so now, they are all out in arms reach for me to grab so I dont have to dig through my huge basket of glues! This keeps all my favorites right there! I covered the front, outer two sides, and inside bottom with some paper scraps and waaa-laaaa... I love it!!!! I left the back undone... where I am going to keep it, it wont be seen.

I have two more boxes left over... I am going to use those for something else in the near future! Cant wait to share that one with you!

Thanks for looking and hopefully you will find a good use for your leftovers!!

Hugs,
