Letter Z

Bonjour from sunny France (at last!)
Wow - here we are - the final letter of the alphabet - where has the time gone?  Isn't it lovely to see so many new players with such fantastic tags!  I seem to have chosen a pretty popular theme for my Z tag - ZIP.  Still playing with my craft robo (some of you asked me what it is - its a computerised plotting and cutting machine - an alternative to die cutting) I cut the black teeth for the zip from black card and glued them to a piece of twill binding (I made that name up - what's it really called?)  I cut the two dress forms on my machine and the letters ZIP - et voila!  The tags are held together with a book ring.  Am off to sneek a peek at the other Z's.  Have a good week.  Hope you are all looking forward to the new themes.
A bientot - hugs - Carolyn xx

  6. From one zipper to another! I'm so impressed that you actually made your zip - cutting out all those teeth too! I cheated and used a real one I'm afraid. Lovely tag and I always love to see dress forms in art.

  10. I almost did something very similar. I like the added touch with the extra dress form hanging from the loop!
