Fashion- Three Muses Challenges















The challenge this week over at Three Muses is 'fashion'. So I came up with this punk slash Marie Antoinette kind of character- you know how they would have those elaborate hairdos where they would stick everything in them and call it a day? Well, this is my interpretation of that idea. The drawing I did wayyyyyyy back in 1987. I drew most of it while 'working' at the movie theater. (What a great job- only two screens so lots of free time in between selling/eating popcorn) Anyway, I shrank it down to fit on my journal page and then added some texture paint for hair and stuck in everything but the kitchen sink. The quote is from the classic David Bowie tune 'Fashion', which, by the way, absolutely refuses to get out of my head. ALL day. Ughhhhh. But at least I was chortling to myself while creating the 'hair'.

    This ticks all the boxes for me, the colours, the texture, the stick everything in and call it a day hairdo and of course the quote. This rocks Laura.

    What a very fun collage! I think David Bowie would like your interpretation of "Fashion". And thank you...now it's in my head too!!

    Wishing you a wonderful day!

    WOW!! This is incredible! I just love your work! I keep staring at this trying to figure out how you made it!

    To answer your question about how I store my layouts... I do store them in page protectors. They seem to fit fine and I have bulky pages. I do not use albums, though. I never liked them. I store them vertically in boxes. Hope this helps. :o)

    Hugs, Natasha
