Let's Assemble

In case you were wondering why this blogger doesn't always have a chance to post, here's one reason: painstakingly meticulous fashion homework. For this assignment we had to take a fashion image from a magazine (I chose a Vogue photograph of Bjork), and then recreate the image using found materials. Despite the fact that this was quite time consuming, I am quite pleased with the results. Here are the materials I used to create this image:

Face - Pastel

Hair - Weave (Shopper's Drugmart)

Dress - Kleenex, and watercolour paints

I also took my sewing machine to the paper after to recreate the cool distressed effect. The top image is the original collage, the second is a photocopy (which is supposed to unify the image a bit), the third is a close up, and the fourth shows a detailed view of some of the garment. Let me know what you think!
