Basque/Dress Ghostly Stitches

Redo

Art revisited Title Hidden and Ghostly

The Basque that was minty in 2007 a pink background with a knitted Basque silhouette that has now been beaded, layered with tissue paper.

Then painted with acrylic and then poster paint with pva glue to this I added crushed crayon for texture then coated in places with nail varnish.

Then skirt part came about using a sponge and a knitted stencil, I changed the original picture/print because the Basque looked as if it was just floating in air, ghostly not really my desired effect but by adding the skirt it seems I created even more of a hunting effect;-)

Life.

Scroll down the previous recent posts and you will see how this art has evolved.

I like the way I have accentuated the beads and buttons that where trapped by the paper.

The love hearts supplied by my daughter. (forever girlie)

Below buttons with a Blue nail polish.

There are more than beads hidden beneath the tissue paper layer and that's another thing I really like about this piece is that the more you look the more you see.

The knitted print almost takes on the image of bones.

Or am I seeing a little to much, oh so arty farty.
