it is Dress Up time again at Margaret’s Alice and Camilla blog
my February dress is made of collaged bits of paper … white gesso … rubbed with red PanPastel … edges inked with Adirondack Red Pepper ink
peel and stick lace … a bit of zigzag stitching
feather trim … and a vintage red button attached with Heavy Gel Medium
I got excited and finished my dress for March before I started my February dress … March will be here before we know it
as the weeks go by you’ll want to check Margaret’s blog often as dress links keep arriving from all over the world
*Note – I will post my March dress next month ;)*
* * * * *
just had to share this precious tea towel that a sweet and talented quilting friend … Lina made for me … just because
it looks cute enough to wear … it is designed to hang over the oven door handle … two pretty tea towels for the “skirt” … the “bodice” is double sided and lovely on both sides … Lina does impeccable work
Thank You so very much dear Lina!!! oxo

the dress is uber cute (as my teenage daughter would say:) I’m always interested to see uses for alcohol ink. I use it on metal ad some plastic – what do like about using it on paper?

Wow, I can’t believe I beat you in getting my dress link in before yours. I love the colors on this dress and the feather trim is gorgeous. I really want some of that stick on lace. Maybe you could let me know where you got it.
Again, this was a super job. I’m envious that you have March’s finished. I haven’t even started mine. What’s so great is, the anticipation of seeing the next dress in the series is always fun.

I would like to put that red dress on with a pair of red heels and go dancing ~ feeling that white fur shake around my ankles! That is a lovely tea dress too! That wouldn’t be wonderful Linda from Linda’s obsessions would it? Blessings!

oh wow,,,über cute is right…what a darling peach colored dress you made. I could definitely see that little number in PINK,,,can´t you??? A “real” dress for some toddler would be gorgeous. This t-towel dress thingy,,,,at first I thought it was a REAL dress and I was wondering why you had it hanging in front of your STOVE….:) too cute.
Someone could wear the darn thing. What people create nowadays is unbelieveable isn´t it.
