If you've wondered where I make MY PEACE of jewelry Mannequins and Jewelry, you don't have to wonder any more. In my apartment, in the kitchen. 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.

Here are some shots I took a few weeks ago of my WO-MANNEQUINs Head n' Torso Measurements: Height - 28" Bust - 32" Waist - 25" Weight - 1 pound 5 ounces (very lightweight) Can hang HOOP or HOOK earrings from the ears.
