I went to the pet store and ended up buying some candy covered millet pellets for rabbits and a red dog toy
.
I loved the colors of the pellets and the red went with the colors. My plan was to glue the pellets to the fabric and have a nice textured look.
That is where I went wrong....The glue actually made a sticky mess once it met up with the candy coating. They were sticking to everything. But they were also leaving a cool coloring on the fabric. Once I came to the realization that I was not going to be able to cover the whole dress in little, sticky pellets it was on to plan B.
Emelie, my model is coming down the runway in a dress colored from rabbit pellets, and a fleece jacket. The belt is made from tubing on the handle of a fish net. The outfit is completed with a pair of red suede pumps.
I can see the judges now shaking their heads at the use of too much material...let's hope someone uses pee pee pads.

Oh man, this was such a funny day in the workroom. I mean we got some good laughs in the making of this one
I love the colouring. So fun! And between your rabbit pellets and my shards or aquarium tubing, the work room looked like a serious crafty tornado hit it hheehe
LOVE the dye job!
Ooo...I love when something seems to be going badly then it turns out amazing. The dress and the whole outfit look great!
