My inspiration was a collaboration of steampunk, french ballet, and Cassandra Clare's The Clockwork Angel. . I used two sizes of round white doilies, hand painted the main layer of the platter tutu, the second layer is brushed gold. Her bodice is taped and tied on with ribbon. Her ballet shoes are made from several cuts of doilies, glued and taped together, tied up her legs with sheer ribbon. There is 4 layers to her tutu, the two underside layers are taped and glued to a short edged circle that is attatched to the bodice. Her little wings are cuts of doilies hot glued to a butterfly jewelry charm. She has a gold chain that is one long piece layered and draped around her arms, dress and used for aesthetics. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this challenge. It was a lot of fun to do and I have a new terribly adorable outfit i don't want to take off my little Sophie.

 

I need to find a measuring tape...;3; the one from my sewing room went AWOL. I have to hit the garage and the hubby's toolbox.

Nope, she's a steady 10 inches or so tall, I was afraid to get too close with the hubby's yucky measuring tape. My entry form has been edited. Thank you for catching me on it, I was worried because my little Sophie definately doesn't look super tiny. I think I'm just thrown off a bit because she's my tiniest baby. Sorry bout' that.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to try something crafty for my poor clothesless dragon girl. The armor was made with doilies stiffened with white glue and attached with silver scrapbooking brads. The chestplate closes with a ribbon. The gauntlets (the accessories for this challenge) are laced with thread.

 

trying to decide who to enter this time???

So this is an interpretation of a French court gown. The corset is laced with ribbon through scrapbooking eyelets, the skirt is separate and fastens with a hidden velcro closure, both are fully removable. Her necklace and earrings stick on with poster tack, and she carries a doily fan. (Shoes not by me.) The gown and the jewellery are made in two layers, a bottom white layer strengthened with scotch tape, and a top layer of decorated pieces hot-glued on. The decoration is done with Staedtler Fineline and Gelly Roll pens, scrapbooking mini pearl stickers and rhinestones.

I was going for a Dior style suit with a cavalier touch. Wish I had taken time for fine tuning but I'm relatively pleased with how it turned out. My accessory is her hat. lol What a pain but I do love a big chruch lady hat!

 

I've got my idea and I've been working a bit with the doiles. I'm just thankful I bought a couple packs ( I keep messing up and burning my hands with the hot glue)



Here's my idea so far, I'm planning on using whites and golds and maybe reds. I wasn't able to find different colored doiles so I've been hand painting them. I'm really hoping I can work out the little kinks that are coming up with the design.

 

I've had my doilies sitting here next to me forever, but I still haven't gotten started on my outfit *gulp* I've kind of gotten sidetracked with some of the DoA contests this month. I have a general idea what I'm doing, but I have to work out the specifics and get in gear. Hopefully I can get some work done over the next few days.

 

Back from Vacation so I'm going to have much to do...including finding doilies, hopefully my local Pat Catan has them..no concrete plan just yet, but a few things are floating around

 

Are we allowed to glue on seed beads?

 

Okay, here's a couple of shots of my progress so far.
Basically I started with the idea of a French court gown style - stiff and frilly, good match for doilies!

Here's the doilies I found:


To get the bodice nicely fitted I wanted to work with small pieces, so I cut out some of the basic shapes from the largest-sized doily to test how I might decorate them:


After test-fitting the pieces together on the doll I came up with my "patterns" and a concept sketch:


And here's the materials I'm using to decorate the doilies. The bottom layer will be held together (and pretty much laminated with) the clear tape, and then a second layer will be applied over top, decorated with the pens and pearl stickers. The colour scheme is silver, gold and yellowy-green. I'm aiming to keep it light and frothy-looking, but not too dominated by the base white colour:

 

I really like those colors.

 

What kinds of pens are those? They look really cool

 

uh...well...nervous laugh. If by a miracle I may be able to get mine done next week. I've been so busy with Halloween people stuff, etc, (yes I said Halloween..lol) so time as been limited on top of that a full time job...so crossing fingers I can come up with something on the fly.

 

ya, I've been taking it for each one so far..lol..we'll see I'll let you know. Thanks

 

Dropping in to see how Everyone is doing I'm looking so farwarded to seeing the finished creations ^^

 

would like an extension please... just in case!

 

Alright I'll take the extension, but no guarantees..lol. I did get dollies though So what date is the extension until?

 

may I have an extension as well? pleasies?

 

If I could also please have the extension, that would be awesome

 

lol. I also would like an extension please.

 

thegashlycrumb: what a fabulous use of rivets and doilies..I love her little armor pieces! Can't wait to see everyone elses...looks like I am probably out unless I can come up with something tomorrow morning in like 2 hrs..lol. Drat this one was going to be fun...even got me some really cool doilies.

 

entry photos are up. the clockwork ballerina is so sweet... great job!

 

Thankies. I love everyone's entries so far. Blue Oracle your girl looks gorgeous, and TheGashlyCrumb the armor is very creative and adorable.

 

wow...incredible guys...I don't think I can top that or come close to such creativity in 1-2hrs.

 

Thanks for the compliments on my armor. I'm loving the different entries. I just couldn't wrap my head around trying to make "clothing" with the doilies but you've managed to find some great ways of working with the material.

 

These entries are awesome! What great ideas, I am totally amazed
Can't wait to find out the winner, even though every single one entry is super!!

 

Fabulous job everyone! Sorry I had to drop out very busy lately. I'll hopefully have some time for the next one. *crossing fingers*

 

Congratulations to the winners
Great creativity!!
