CLOSE UP OF THE FRONT OF PILLOW

THIS PILLOW WAS MADE FROM THE BACK OF AN VINTAGE DRESS FORM THE LATE 1980'S REMEMBER ALL THE FLOWERS OF THAT STYLE AND TIME..IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN EARLY 1990'S TOO...I STARTED GATHERING THESE DRESSES FROM RESALES, AROUND 2001....LOVED THE BIG FLOWERS....AND COLORS ARE SO BRIGHT AND PRETTY...I HAVE LOTS OF THESE DRESSES TO WORK WITH...AND PLAN TO SELL SOME OF THE FABRIC IN MY ETSY SHOPS...

AS YOU CAN SEE I TOOK THE SKIRT OF THIS DRESS PUT AROUND A TALL STOOL AND PADDED THE TOP FOR THAT SWEET SOFT LOOK....RECYCLING FABRICS INTO SOMETHING LOVELY AND FUN......

WHEN I FIRST STARTED GOING TO THESE RESALE SHOP'S...I WAS LOOKING FOR VINTAGE LACE AND BUTTONS...I FOUND SO MANY BEAUTIFUL DRESSES AND THE MATERIAL OF THE LOVELY FLOWERS CAUGHT MY EYE...I LOVE THE SHABBY COTTAGE STYLE LOOK OF ROSES...

I ADDED A HEART PEARL BUTTON IT WAS ALSO ONE OF MY VINTAGE BUTTON FINDS...I ALSO TOOK A PIECE OF THE DRESS MATERIAL AND MADE A SOME YO YO'S AND ADDED A SWEET RIBBON ROSES...IF YOU LOOK CLOSER AT THE TOP OF PILLOW YOU WILL SEE THAT'S THE BUTTONS THAT WERE ON THIS DRESS..THE BACK OF THE DRESS IS THE PART THIS PILLOW IS MADE FROM...

COLORS ARE OFF WHITE, LIGHT AND DARK ROSE, LIGHT AND DARK JADE GREEN AND LITTLE BLUE FLOWERS AND A LITTLE TOUCH OF LT GOLD...I ADDED SOME LACE AND A LACE BOW WITH SOME PEARLS...A LITTLE CROCHET DOILIE BEHIND ONE OF THE YO YO'S...TOOK A LITTLE STRING OF PREALS AND ADDED THEM...I LIKE PEARLS AND USED THEM TO DECORATE AROUND MY HOME...THE VINTAGE PEARLS ARE MY FAVORITES....I HANG THEM FROM MIRRORS AND DRAPED THEM ON PICTURES...THE ONES ON THIS PILLOW ARE THE KIND YOU BUY TO CRAFT WITH....THE VINTAGE EVENING PEARL BAG OR PURSE IS ANOTHER ITEM I LIKE TO COLLECT...

The use of Old Vintage Photos

"Let's Go"

Goat and cart and look at those wheels

I would image they spin very pretty

That baby is ready for a ride

Perfect for assemblages, collages, and journals

The old wood fence in the back ground is so neat

This is such a cute vintage picture of baby, cart and rooster

It could be used to do journals, assemblages, collages

Even it could make a cute tittle, "I am working for Chicken Feed""Got Mule will travel"

used to make scrapbooking,

Journal, collage, assemblages

Check out that big bow in her hair

That sure looks like a laid back Mule

"Number 1930"

This is one could be put in a cute frame

The Goat is looking at you as if he is smiling too

You could decorate the frame with small vintage items

Tattered or torn it doesn't matter when working

with mixed media art....add something over it or

make a new cut on the corners adjust it for a book cover

or a frame you want it to fit in the more adding the

more fun it can become. Using your own imagination

creative within the picture to become your own vintage art
