My Torso.....

My sweet blogging friend, Tee from The Altered Paper sent me this wonderful Paper Mache Torso. I have been pondering how I was going to doll her up.



This is what I came up with.
I used my old hymnol book to create the flowers and the dress top.


I added some ribbon and a bow which I inked as well as the the homemade flowers.

I added purple Wild orchid flowers along with my flower punch to fill in the spaces.



The other flowers were made using my cricut. Cut two different sizes of pattern to get volume.


I have debated on if I should add anything else to the top portion...and decided not to.

Let me know if you think that is a good choice.

Let me know what you think....if you like the Torso you can enter into
