Tim Holtz Dress Forms

I have been playing with my Sir Tim Sewing Die with the dress form on it... and at 2 a.m. this morning I had a thought... so I got up and tried it out...
I tore pages from a Chinese version of Gone With the Wind and had a play with them... you see, I have no problem ripping pages out of books in Chinese... I figure I am never going to want to read them!! ;)
I wasn't entirely happy with her... she still needed something so I gave her a spray with some Tattered Angels glimmer mist... hmmmm, still not sure....
So then I went off to Chris' study and dug out the Yellow Pages... the paper is already a lovely aged yellow and its very thin... so I cut heaps of the dress form shape and I like this version much better...

    Oh My Chuffing chuff... this is... MAAAAYYYYYZING hun... LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it.......... how inspired!!

    Hey,.. you asked... dfference between Stains and Ink... they are the same thing/colour etc and both react with H2O... but teh Stains are liquid and make light work of colouring anything... tis like Distress in a bottle! HTH

    Thanks for sharing this...tis... perfection! x

    I'm totally impressed with that die. I wish I had that die cutting system. You make the most amazing art from dies like that one and the bird cage. Truly lovely!

    As for those pages, I think you are right. I believe the yellow pages are much better for this project. They brought out the beauty and color of the dress form in a way you couldn't get with the Chinese book pages and inks alone. Although I love oriental book pages, I think this 3-D art looks super with the added dimension of the page colors.

    She looks great!! I can't imagine where you got hold of a version of Gone With the Wind in Chinese.... but the Yellow Pages version is fantastic.

    Wow Annette, how fab is that...but 2am???

    Love the effect this creates and the coloured pages just add that little 'something' (just hope you don't need to use the Yellow Pages LOL)
