Inspire - an art doll....

I've had some Beautiful pieces in my Design Team kit from

The Stamping Queen

I particularly love this Printed Acetate by Collections

and I really wanted to create an art doll with it.

Well her she is

~ Inspire ~

I placed the acetate over the top of a 'raw' chipboard dress form and sewed it in place.

the Wooden Flourish is glued to the back and then sandwiched between the front dress form and another which gives this piece a lovely substantial feel.

here's a little tip for you when sewing Acetate onto chipboard ~
take a piece of scrap paper, using double sided tape tape your piece of chipboard to the scrap of paper, cut your acetate piece a little larger than your chipboard shape (my shape was the manican) Place your Acetate over the top of the Chipboard shape and tape the edges of the acetate (remember you cut it larger than the chipboard shape) to the scrap paper.
this holds everything firmly and stops it from slipping while you sew.
Once you have sewn your acetate to the chipboard shape, you can simply remove the excess scrap paper & acetate from the edges.
