the Runway

There are projects that I think of and come together in a weekend and there are others that takes months.

My Runway trio for example. The last new piece for last weeks Hatch show. I had an old set of 3 blond kitchen cabinets that I wanted to do use together, but nothing was clicking.

Then- a very clever Etsy-er listed these bundles of colorful vintage buttons.  I just liked the way the 3 colors looked together and added them to the supply shelf.  It wasn't till months later that I put the 2 together and just knew that the buttons needed to be dresses.

After giving the doors a fresh white coat, I quickly sketched out a rough outline, painted the dress a matching color and just started gluing on the buttons.  A little paint by number, a little puzzle constructing, but I achieved what I was hoping.

Now- just needed to give them some personality.  Of course they needed different hair dos, but the other parts remained similar.  Soft flowy limbs, flirty eyelashes and some ruby red lips.

To top it all off.  Barbie boots.  Not sure where I picked these up, but I was able to scrounge up 3 pair and these girls were off the the show.

So, that is the show recap.  5 blog posts in one week....I think that is a record.  I hope you enjoyed and see you back here soon.
