WOW!

Please indulge me a 'proud Mum' moment!
My middle daughter began her Art Foundation course at University 10 weeks ago. She has just produced this amazing outfit as one of her self-initiated project assessments. It is a corset and pleated skirt made from newspaper, which she has stitched and added painted graffiti and sequins.
Here she is modelling the outfit in a setting she designed and photographed herself, to represent 'victim fashion'. I am amazed and feel thrilled that she is pursuing a course that she obviously loves.
She hopes to follow a pathway into costume design.

    I Niki!

    Simply to say that I love the pictures and what your daughter has created. It is clear that you both are great artists!
    But, more costumes designs, please!

    I´d love to wear them! ;)

  8. Hi Niki

    What a talented daughter you have!! I know I'm repeating what others have said, but of course she takes after her mum!!

    Good luck to her - although it appears she doesn't really need luck, she already has the talent required!
