mixed media tutu...

I have recently fallen in love with a French painter, Laurence Amelie. She has a truly unique and inspiring aesthetic. What I love most about her artwork are her paintings of tutus...


So a couple weeks ago I decided to make a Laurence Amelie tutu of my own. To do this I combined her aesthetic with my own love of mixed media. Here is the final product...



I did this piece with pastels, some old ribbon pieces, and dried flower petals. Someday I hope to own a piece of her true artwork but until then this sweet afternoon project will serve to decorate my bedroom wall.
