an elaborate way to display an atc

i finally finished the project i started in a class taught by the ever so talented daniela costa.

it's a paper-maché bust, collaged with
alice in wonderland themed papers, in which i carved out a niche and lined the inside with fabric. i made a slotted base to display an atc in the niche.

i embellished her with leaves, flowers, mushrooms and decorative pins. it stands on a pedestal surrounded by a wire mesh skirt, a little more than 20" tall.


this was a really fun project - i shared it tonight on craft-tastic live, a fun weekly online craft show hosted by the effervescent andrea currie.
