I had so much fun making this tunic! Using one of my favorite bodice patterns, I added it in an olive crinkle sheen to the bottom of a full skirted skirt I found at my local thrift store. I fell in love with the gorgeous border print used on the skirt, but the skirt itself was a few sizes too small for me. Well, I've never let that stop me, so I got it and chopped off the waistline to make my own tunic out of it. I love how full the skirt is, even in tunic form! And I love the compliments I get whenever I wear it!

This fun dress was created for the 2010 Nauvoo Area Fashion Show and got a lot of compliments. However, my size has shrunken since then, and it no longer fit me. So today I got the amazing thought to add a casing to the empire waistline with elastic to bring it in to my current size. It worked! And it really makes me look slim and trim too! Yea!
I went to a fun painting class with my friend Liz today, and this is what I created. You can't see all the lovely glitter in this snapshot of the painting, but it's there. I wanted to create a dress I knew I'd never wear, one that is not a flattering style for me but is still very much me (if that makes sense to you.) What do you think? Isn't it so pretty?

Denise FeltI took this challenge in the hopes of expanding my creativity as an artist. Already I'm seeing art in a new light -- as something to do for fun and not just practicality! Archives
