Dear Blog,

just a random post

heres a canvas dress/ top i did last year

my print inspiration came from alexander McQueen's s/s 09 collection

and andy warhol's floral paintings

i was bored  and had a lot of free time 
so why not make something ;)

anywhoos i started draping canvas on my mannequin

after a few hours i got the silhouette i wanted

anti-shape top good to hide all the unwanted fats ;)

gathered all my fabric paint
and started to blend the colors together 
i wanted to create a shell like texture

 after a few hours...

after letting it dry for a day 

i hand stitched  everything

dyed it twice with black fabric dye 

hung it to dry 

 ironed it to seal the fabric paint 

and heres the finish product 
added pin details on the neckline

Brent C. is just super delish!  keri!
kisses A.
