Projects in the Works

I've been on the hunt for a dressmaker's doll that doesn't cost a bazillion Euros. Still no luck.. But then my lovely friend Heather suggested I Google "dress form duct tape" and by golly she's a genius. I found this site that lead me to be duct taped on the weekend. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3659/clone-yourself-a-fitting-assistant

Me: So honey, I need to buy duct tape and then you have to tape my upper half.
The Husband: OK.
Me: You know what duct tape is, right?
The Husband: Oh yeah, I'll get the cocktails ready. (cue porno music in his head)

So anyway, I bought 20 meters of duct tape and found an old t-shirt (my husband's) and went to the toilet (trust me on this one, you won't be peeing for a while). Then the taping began. Now here are my tips:
1) Wear a bra if you have boobs
2) Keep all things like remote controls, cell phones, laptops, water, lip gloss at at least waist level
3) Buy a lot of tape or else you will be forced to wait while taped while the Husband goes running out for more (I needed 40 meters).
4) If you like breathing deeply you will hate this
5) Use sharp scissors when cutting off the tape from the body but try not to cut the person inside the tape.. ahem.
6) Stuff the body with garbage bags and think "This is what I would look like if I had been dismembered by a serial killer".

It really is a great idea but a lot of work.. I see potential for Halloween projects as well! If you do it, let me know how it turns out! I still want a dressmaker's dall but this thing will work for now.

Happy Tuesday!!
