winged statue

after experimenting with the clear powertex and crochet doily

i decided i was ready for the next level

sculpture

i gathered up my supplies needed

some armature wire, cheese cloth, cotton t-shirt strips, masking tape. lace trim

and an old Barbie doll's body ( which i covered with masking tape because

powertex will not stick to plastic)

i used the clear powertex because the only other color on hand is black

i started mummy wrapping at the top of body with 1 inch strips of t-shirt including the wings

on the back to help secure them and at the bottom i wrapped around the skirt

i wrapped the wings and skirt with cheesecloth

i found a decorative piece of trim and cut around the design to make a dress

the heart shape worked well as both the top and the scalloped edge on the bottom

now that i am totally addicted and have more supplies

i will be creating a lot more

so stay tuned
