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: oh what a perfick day...

greetings from rural japanese town

in autumn the below rivermouth and other waterfronts
attract many fishing guys

photo taken just yesterday



now to the business

the last post on drawing on the paper model of the dress
was on 15th of september
mind boggling to realize i've been messing with this for
another one entire month but

let's not go there

below:
as of sept. 15th
circled are the area that didn't quite do



fast forward to 15th 0f 0ctober
no more drawing on the far-right piece (left sleeve front),
modified the previously circled area but
the newly-circled are the places that
still do not flow...



see,
it doesn't dooooo



below:
20th of october---yes, today
yuko the perfectionista said,
perfick!!



see how different it looks on the back



up close...
this look made me very happy



so
i'm gonna savor this feeling for a while
then move on to the next task
which is to
transfer (meaning, paint) all this
onto the fabric of my choice
using fabric dye

one day this piece shall be
completed

How exciting! Will the next step be risky and perilous or just pure meditative bliss?

thankyu krapart!

with my ever-so-versatile point+shooter "canon powershot a570 is". then photoshopped a little to deepen the color to bring the image on (my) screen closer to what i remember seeing.

a little secret revealed.
