#31DC2013 Inspired By Fashion - Marc Jacobs Night Birds


I'm falling behind with the challenges but hopefully I can still hang on through the end.  Today's(yesterday's?) challenge was inspired to be inspired by fashion, something that I think most of us ladies are a slave to.  One of my favorite designers is the ever creative Marc Jacobs, and over the years I've slowly collected some of his pieces into my wardrobe.  One of my favorite pieces is a taffeta dress that he released last year with the "Night Bird" pattern.  I don't get to wear it often except for special occasions, but when I do, I always feel like a princess.

To start, I used Gabriel Cosmetics Poseidon a dark blue cream as my base, and then used acrylics to paint the birds.  The pattern was a little more difficult than I thought it would be to draw!

Aren't the birds just darling?  I love this pattern and I know Marc has created other pieces using the same pattern.  I only wish I had the $$ to buy them all!

Let's see what fashion got the other ladies creatives minds going below!
