So out of nowhere, I have been set the most ridiculously long winded art project which is supposed to be completed by sometime in the near future! In a state of frenzy, I set to work trying to find an artist who uses beautiful gowns ( as it is best with this kind of project to play to your strengths) and found John William Waterhouse who was a pre raefelite painter who did scenes of myths and ledgands. I liked him when i was younger so the fact that i found a painter who i really like has made the whole project much less daunting anyway the point is, I had the idea to try and recreate one of the dresses in the paintings and after much browsing, found one of his pictures of Ophelia (from Hamlet, a bit crazy, drowns herself) and am planning to make the dress! Im surprisingly excited but am desperatly trying to find a model for the photograph... anyway ill keep you posted with photos!
love,
