  • 18 years ago

    Sirius why is that i don't see anything wrong??????

  • 18 years ago

    Hubba hubba indeed. Anxiously awaiting the next installment. What is the base - where did you get it?

  • 18 years ago

    LOL photobucket didn't like my pictures. Oh well. It is part of a maniquene(spelling). I'm waiting on a glass order. I changed my mind on what i wanted to do and had to order glass. Trying to wait nicely too. LOL

    Update here. Finally got my glass i needed.

  • 18 years ago

    Miss Cloris Grape is coming along very nice! I like the sorta-keyhole neckline!

  • 18 years ago

    Look beautiful with the glass flowing, and following the lines of her figure. One thing though I have to say, is that the green look out of place.

  • 18 years ago

    Lookin' GOOD - love the neckline.

  • 18 years ago

    OMG! this is my first post/reply! and wow! I had to come out of lurkdom to say! that is so freaking cool!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Beyond thunderdome cool!

  • 18 years ago

    Wowie, what kind of glass are you using, the blue really shines. It does kind of remind me of a mad maxx outfit. Yeah, I don't know about the green leaf either, kind of too bright for it.

  • 18 years ago

    It is purple mirror glass. The leaf will fit in when i am done with her. Just wait and see.

  • 18 years ago

    WOW! This is gorgeous! What a project, Where did you get the base?

  • 18 years ago

    Got the base off of craigslist.

  • 18 years ago

    Wow that's so cool. I love it and can't wait to see the finished product,

  • 18 years ago

    Coming along great,love the neck design.

  • 18 years ago

    Looking good, GRETCH. LOVE the neckline too.

  • 18 years ago

    Well this is where she is at now. I still have some work to do on her. I have to get a few other things to finish what i'm going to do to her. That is a surprise. Hopefully this week i will go out and get them. Haven't been doing much. Killed my back babysitting the other day. Pinched nerve. So been taking it easy.




  • 18 years ago

    Ouch, Sorry about your back, hope it's feeling better soon.
    Cloris is looking good! Love her bright ta-tas! A suprise, huh?
    What more could you add and where?....I'm intrigued.

  • 18 years ago

    WOW!!!! I can't get the wow big enough for how I feel when I saw your latest Pic!!!! LOVE The Flowers!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Gretch, I have a question... I love what you did here, but how do you display a mannequin? Is it for sale? I want to do one, but don't know what I'd do with it once done...

  • 18 years ago

    I'm going to sell it at the shows i do. Art/craft shows. If she don't sell i will keep her.

  • 18 years ago

    WoooooooHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You did it, girlie. You had a vision and you brought it forth. That is one sexy lady! LOVE the flowers. Good luck on your sale. If I might comment on EMTNEST's question as to where/how to display a mannequin, you can put it in just about any room in your house - it's a piece of art, and art doesn't have to match your sofa, carpet, walls, etc. Put it where you'll enjoy just LOOKING at it. My DH used to tell everyone who came to our home "my wife decorates our house for LOOKING, not LIVING. He was a big man, and had trouble navigating some areas, but was so tolerant of my crazy ways. IMHO, you don't need a reason or excuse to mosaic anything - just do it and put it out there and enjoy it.
