| Fashion Series #1 |
I found some wonderful fashion drawings from 1895 to 1905 online. There must be hundreds of them. The drawings have sparked a series of seven ATCs and postcards. The background appears to be a blown up wing of a butterfly. However, it is a scan from a journal I created for a friend to hold her ATCs. I found some wonderful rub off butterflies online and here you have the piece created with three simple steps. I have layered tar gel over the completed ATC which has made it shiny and has enhanced the colors. This piece actually appears to be a digital work but it is all cut, paste, and rub. The others in the series will make their blog debut over the next month or so.

I love the simplicity of this, also the muted colorway.
Love this piece. Very different for you!
This does have a different feel.
Is it Erte, or a follower of his? The right arm with the fan looks 'added' - did you play with the design of the piece? Anyway I love the background design. (Unusual use of tar gel which I can't get on with at all!)
The fashion ephemera comes from L'Art Et Ca Mode from 1895 to 1905. I have quite a collection them.
Wonderful composition John and I love the color.
i love these new color palates you used here. i can see how you were inspired by this image
