I've already posted one tutorial about How to Make a Mannequin out of paper, paste and patience. It's been 3 years since that post. For kicks, I thought I'd make a new post just to see how much I've aged over the years. Ha! Besides me getting older, nothing else has changed. I still make each MANNEQUIN with the same materials. 1. paper bags 2. wallpaper paste 3. patience 4. time Now, when I decided to make this post,  I was already in the process of making another TORSO.

I live in studio apartment, I have the main room, where I sectioned into a sitting area and bedroom.  I made the couch with salvaged materials. The seat cushions are from a couch left in the alley. A piece of wood, that the cushions are on, I found in the alley too. The accent pillows are from the thrift stores. The black body pillows and brown pillows are from Bed, Bath & Beyond I will show the step-by-step making of the seat bench in another post. The bathroom. I tiled the bathroom and hung the shelves. Then I have the kitchen. It's big enough for a dining room table. I don;t eat my meals in the kitchen. I've made in my work space. My work space is hidden behind the book case next to the stove Voila!  Work Space My Work Space for making MY PEACE of jewelry Handc...

In the story of Noah's Ark, a branch from an Olive Tree was brought back to the Ark by Noah's Dove symbolizing peace. Also, on Palm Sunday, pilgrims carry Olive Wood branches commemorating the Lord's entry into Jerusalem. Thus, the Olive Tree became a dominant symbol of the Holy Land. From the Olive trees, you get this great striated wood. The rich color and interesting veins are characteristic of the beautiful Bethlehem Olive Wood. The natural swirl and contrast of the Olive Wood grain will draw your mind. After the olive tree is trimmed her branches are ke...
