Dress form in Progress

I've made a slow but sure start in Jean Bernard's Dress Form class, mounted the form on its base, apoxied the base with shapes that strongly remind me of banana leaves......not what I intended, but I decided to live with it! Gessoed the whole thing and painted with random strokes of about six different colors! What fun that was! I'm fashioning a finial of sorts to go on top, and the rest will get covered in variegated leaf. Then it will get some floral embellishment and then on to the second half of the class which will involved creating a garment for it. Jean incorporates myriad techniques within each project, so her classes are great for keeping your interest! Stay tuned!!!!!
