DIY - MANNEQUIN in process


My mini - WO-MANNEQUIN. I just sold this one a few weeks ago on Etsy.



The mini is really nice to feature a necklace, such as these lovelies made by me.

mini-WO-MANNEQUIN featured above was the only one I made so far.
I am in the process of making another one right now. Even though I liked this one,
there was one thing that bothered me. It not having a neck. What little neck it does have,
is just not enough for my taste.
So this next one
I am making now will have a long neck.


When it comes to making a Mannequin,
you don't have to follow the form to the tee.
Be creative!
Add to or subtract from the piece based on what you desire.



The neck here is a little too long,
but I am in the process of making it,
so I will chop off some of the neck.
Sounds so gruesome.


Final photos of mini-WO-MANNEQUIN will be posted soon.

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                   ...

Sneaker Wedges Should be Banned!    to various blog posts giving PRAISEs and TIPS on how to WEAR The pair that started the Sneaker Wedge trend is Isabel Marant brand Cost $649! They cost $649 dollars. Personally, I feel is ridiculous for shoes. This weekend, a friend revealed to me that she bought two pairs. She loves them but says they are uncomfortable. Who buys $649 pair of shoes that you can't walk in?! I like the shoes. But I'm not paying $649 I found a pair.
