This work of art was so much fun to create! I did it in stages, working up from torn scraps of paper collaged from JoAnn Fabrics ads onto the canvas. Then I painted over them in several different layers, finishing with an antique gold metallic covering all. I then added a layer of tiny gold seed beads and sealed them in place after they were glued by dusting the entire surface with acrylic spray. I tacked the thin copper wire to each side of the canvas after adding small bronze metallic beads to it. Finally, I hung the scrapbook paper dresses from their shoulder hang tags onto the wire and kept them from falling off by scotch taping the tags to their backs. I was so excited about how well the piece turned out that I immediately hung it on my wall!
Here is the finished panorama canvas. Didn't it turn out beautifully with all those fabulous dresses hanging from the beaded wire? The quote is from Oscar Wilde and says it all quite perfectly: "One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art." I didn't know anyone other than me felt this way about clothes! So awesome!

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
