Dear Blog,

started painting again

it feels like i'm writing another story 

each illustration has an equivalent word 

i'm still searching 

for the perfect lines to fill each row

describing each Dream

each memory 

 it needs a lot of work

 (28x22) 

it's going to look something like this

Escape: dream with me 2009

(20x15)

thats all for now

Kisses A.

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.
