This fairy dress was actually one of my first forays into impracticality. It's a dress that can only be worn once or twice a year (Halloween, Ren Fairs, etc.), so it was very far down my list of clothing to make, even though I had the design and fabric chosen. My daughter talked me into making it anyway, and I'm so glad she did. Not only was it a hit at the fashion show, it also adds a lot of excitement to my closet!
Glancing through my Fashion Show pictures for the past three years, my eye was caught by this shot taken of my 2010 costume entry modeled by Ashley. She struck such a pose here that I wanted to see what special effects would capitalize on that. I found several that looked promising, but once I tried the neon effect, I was sold! She looks almost like she was etched into the background, making every flower of the print stand out. This really turned out beautifully, and I'm proud all over again that I made this dress.

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
