What happens when you take 1/2 in plywood, chicken wire, bar stool and a used wedding dress? You end up with a product that a client asked you to build. At the end of September Shirley Lockett contacted me. She was interested in trying to build a prop for her Bridal & Beauty Show produced by the Lockett Corporation. When we met at Starbucks she showed me a 4x6 promotion card of the inspiration piece. That started the creative juices flowing. As you can see in the pictures below the process I used to build the set for her.

| Shirley like the Phantom of the Opera theme -- I already had this mask fr another event |
 |
| I made a gold forepart and lace overlay. All the pieces and parts were attached with ribbon |
 |
| Me and the finished product. Wish the ladder was showing. Shirley is to send me a picture of the gal who actually was in this contraption at the show. |
 |
| Well what do you think? Did I come close to the inspiration design? |
