Brown Flower - Finished

The remit for this was for a young 7 year old - and something fun and modestly priced. Ended up as a hire rather than sale.

Pink Cactus - getting stoned

It takes ages - plus some are sew on....  around 2000 in the end on this leotard.

Pink Daisy - finished

So this is how it ended up - I can see some empty (too empty) spaces so may work on it some more over the summer..... just 1 more show and a big competition till the season ends. Blogging while bacteria leo's paint dries..... more to come!

Varicose front

The front is slightly different to the back in theme, this is like twisted ribbons - or I had the idea of twisted ribbons....

This is the later picture of the back with lines......

Homage to varicose veins

I have been making leotards for rhythmic gymnastics of late. This one is for Diana, and the first one I've painted. Back view... Not yet finished ... I recently discovered that an ex found the couple of very small varicose on the back of my knee nauseatingly disgusting. I dedicate this beautiful work to SE. May he get over it!
