So I must admit, after mum season ended last October, I was a little sad because it was going to be a whole year before I got to make them again BUT I was surprised with two more Private School orders for February Homecomings! YEAH!! It was like a late Christmas present - seriously, I just love making these things.
This one was for a Junior and she loves Zebra - so I added alot of Zebra accents. This is the first dress I made for a bear - what do you think?? Since she loved Zebra, for the memory book I covered it with a zebra felt. Also it is hard to see but I got some of those hand clappers and attached black lace to it for an extra noise maker! The girl who wore this made Homecoming Queen this year!!
Here are a few more close ups:
I just LOVE how it turned out!
Here is another one I did, but this one was for a senior. She loves all things western so I decided to make a "cowgirl" bear for the middle.
Also for the box braid, I made three braids and looped them together for a lasso type look - oh you can see the hand clapper in the middle of this one real well!
And on this one - for the bear - I made a fringe vest. I also made a lasso that the bear is holding and painted it silver - so much easier than I thought it would be!
Since I was trying to make it look western, I used a different font for the Senior 2012 letters. The font I used has a more "wooden fence" type western look - not sure if you can tell in the photos but here is a closer look at the font and also a closer look at the lasso in the second picture below.
Tell me what you think!!! Thanks so much for looking and I hope you enjoyed them!
