TBT: GOT JEWEL'S BACK

TBT:After almost ten tubes of E6000 glue and a lot of hours Jewel is ready to be wired to become a floor lamp. Perhaps you remember my first posting of Jewel's new paint job and the beginning of the bejeweling of Jewel D. Le Mississippi.

Since it's Throw 'Back' Thursday you should get a sneak peak of her finished back.

Well, ta dah here's Jewel's back now.  

Jewelry's ready to be lit up.

Quite a transformation, right?

Thanks to some three dozen folks who donated their unused jewelry to help bedeck her. 

In mid October she will join her old friends from the former Macy's department all decorated in  different mediums in an auction called Light Up a Life to help with the work for Down Syndrome. 

So I need your opinion, what do you think the beginning bid price should be?

Stay tuned : Her shade will be a hat bedazzled with earrings.

take a look at Jewel's first post:Manny Kin becomes Jewel D. Le Mississippi

LIGHTING UP A LIFE...

Promises, promises. You'd think I was a politician but I am going to keep this one promise and it was to give you a look at how Jewel D. Le Mississippi is progressing.

Thanks to others and their generosity of sharing their costume jewelry and baubles Jewel is coming right along for her debut in the Down Syndrome fundraiser Light Up a Life where she and 9 other mannequins will become floor lamps to be auctioned off to the highest bidders. 

So right now for the progress after 5 tubes of E6000 glue and I'm guessing about a 100 hrs so far in labor. 

Are you ready? Drum roll please.

I know of at least 4 more kind souls with promises for more donations including beach finds. This gal is sure to light up some lives...
