Xmas Break - MY PEACE vacation stay-cation

Image
I work for a major college in Los Angeles, where every year the campus is closed from Xmas to New Year's. Like most folks, I look forward to this time off, but not for the relaxation factor, but for my ability to commit my time to MY PEACE of JEWELRY. I work on new peaces and mannequins. It was a great stay-cation for creating. Made a "new" formed WO-MANNEQUIN, as seen here on the right. It's not finished. Will post when complete. It's a minature sized version of a woman's torso. The one on the left is a woman's head n' torso. Here are the ones I did finish.

I try to ease my worried mind by saying, "I've posted as many pics as possible, so the customer can see exactly what they are getting". But I still hold my breath. This latest purchase was Monday, August 8, 2011. I sold my WO-MANNEQUIN - Head n' Torso to someone in Azle, Tx. I am not sure where that is but I did not know where King of Prussia, Pennsylvania wa...

WO-MANNEQUIN Head n' Torso design made by me using grocery bags and wallpaper paste. May not be the most beautiful but she won't talk back to you and will never gain weight. LOL. I know that's corny. Here are some pics! http://www.etsy.com/shop/zeedubya

WO-MANNEQUIN - Head 'n Bust

WO-MANNEQUIN - Head 'n Bust MEASUREMENTS Height - 19" Width - 11" Depth - 8" This one I really had a time making it. The ears were the hardest part because, when you make something by hand and not using a mold, there is no promise that they will result being the same size, level or quality. So it took a few tries to make the ears. Here are a few pics with MY PEACE of JEWELRY displayed on the Head 'n Bust - WO-MANNEQUIN NECKLACES EARRINGS MY PEACE of JEWELRY http://www.etsy.com/listing/59501725/wo-mannequin-head-n-bust
