Making of a silk dress with a wing painted on it.
With dye in color blue black.
Realistic feathers placed unrealistically.
A long story told as is.

wing dress update: all set on paper

---What is the Wing Dress?---
The wing dress is an ongoing project of mine
that I have been recording the 'making' process of since May '07.
The dress will have a wing/ feathers, dyed/ painted on it.
I am simultaneously making a shirt, also with a dyed wing.



as i promised on my previous post
here are few photos of the
paper form of the wing dress

(these feathers are to be traced onto the fabric
then painted in with fabric dye, steam set and assembled)

there may be some places not completely perfect but
i said done! anyways or else i'll get into a loop...
i attempt to balance out so as to get the most out of
my detailed perfectionism and
momentum of the momento





to be continued....in a momento
