Elephant in pink & silver filigree Regency dress This darling little pinup dress

This darling little pinup dress is made from Korean hanji paper patterned in red strawberries and white flowers on a bright blue background

so they are pretty hard to improve on

all that black-on-black won’t translate well into stitched paper

The first Petal dress was created in 1949 for socialite and social activist Millicent Rogers

Elephant in pink & silver filigree Regency dress This darling little pinup dressBased on an 1890 illustration of Afrikanische Elefant (African Elephant) from Meyers Konversations Lexikon: Eine Encyklopadie Des Allgemeinen Wissens. The elephant is 4. 75 inches tall, stitched by hand by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall. Materials: Japanese paper, glass bead, and cotton floss on cotton paper.
