Three Muses - Fashion

I love the bold colors of African fashion.   One of my mail art pieces done in Nick Bantock style seemed an appropriate background.    Great challenge, Ann!

  2. Wow! A stunning famous statement. The fabric in the dress is superb and I guess the inspiration has been taken from the giraffe, given the design. Your Bantock background is perfect! Love this one, Bev.

  14. You have captured African art to a T Bev, the stunning hot colours of the fabric are magnificent against the African mailart backdrop. Scrumptious take on the theme my friend.
