Party Dress

I just can't seem to pick up shimmer and shine with my camera or phone.  I spent a very long time on this--it has beads and glitter and tissue paper and acrylic, and two kinds on enamel, and...well, you get the point.  I went out to eat with a very good friend of mine, the last bit of the post-Thanksgiving weekend, and everything is now twinkling with Christmas decorations.  The holiday is working its way into my art.

There's my friend Cindy, or Cinderella as I call her, in the background.

Pierogies and Street Tacos--fusion food, baby!

Elena and Her New Fall Fashion

Elena couldn't wait to move forward with the new fall fashion.

I don't think my picture is reflecting these colors accurately.  They are lighter and actually the red dots are metallic.  I adhered thin tissue all around the figure in the dress.  The purse, too, is covered with metallic-dotted tissue over a split pea-green paint.  There is also metallic powder pigment in her dress.  I'll try for a better picture in the next few days with a new camera and try to replace this baby to more accurately match its true colors.
