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!

    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.

    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.

    Reading through the comments- I was enlightened by Marie that the models dress fabric was reminiscent of the giraffe- really clever. Beautiful creation!

    She looks so striking in that outfit and pose. You captured Neil Bantock brilliantly too. I do love his work - what an incredible imagination he has.

    The background and stamps fit perfectly to the outfit and the beautiful model. Very artsy picture, Bev (only thing that bothers me is how thin are her arms...).
