Art Deco at Just for Fun
Art Deco at Just for Fun
What an honour to be asked to be a guest designer this week at Just for Fun
I hadn't a clue what to make so I went for inspiration to our local charity shops and found this heart shaped mirror for £3. It looked very art deco with the 3 pieces and bevelled edges and was a nice size, 12 inches by 13 inches
The templates for the backgrounds and embellishments were made in PSP then assembled onto very thick card--a box that was in the loft provided that.
The ladies I found on an embroidery pattern site and I enhanced them to make them large enough for the sides of the mirror. Parts of the ladies had to be raised with silicone as the mirror is quite thick and the bottom of the dresses and the arms would have been flapping about if I hadn't secured them. There were two hooks on the mirror and I managed to thread those through the card and make a hanger with string. It now hangs in our hall in a space that has needed something a bit different for a long time
