After having spent the weekend sewing masks with my sewing machine I decided to swap the material for some decorative paper and make a mask to protect this beautiful girl…

I enjoy the process of creating an outfit out of my mixed media cupboard…I start with a vague outline which I modify as I go along…Here I used collage,washi tape,acrylic paint, pastels,pencils, brushpen…all that done on mixed media paper.

I wanted to create a portrait of a woman wearing a striking dress which would reflect the light. At the same time I wanted it to be semi- transparent over the arms.I had great fun designing this outfit out of squiggles..and it was truely a mixed media adventure not knowing how to achieve the end result.So by experimentation I obtain the right effect for this design…
