Remember the syrup bottle from the kitchen found object dress? Well, it's empty now, and I thought what a lovely shape it had -- almost like a ballgown. So today I took crepe paper, tape, and glue and made the fuchsia ballgown of my dreams. It's a gown I could never have worn, because not only would I never have dared to wear anything completely strapless, but fuchsia is such a bold color, and I don't like to stand out. But if I were bolder or the world a lot kinder, this would be my choice for a fancy ball. I placed the finished dress on top of my china cabinet full of Collector Barbies to remind myself that my dress designs don't have to be of practical use to me to wear. Sometimes just bringing the dream into reality is enough to assuage the need to have it.

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
