Kicking off the final week of this inspiration element is Rosie.  A combination of refashioning and free flowing mark making/surface decoration with fabric paints makes for a truly unique piece…

Her starting point was a loose fitting jumpsuit that had sat in her wardrobe since it had been gifted to her by a friend. The proportions of which simply didn’t work for Rosie on her petite frame…

Kudos to Rosie for recreating the look and feel of the original inspiration garment, but also the pose! Oh the pose! 😉 Right down to the thrifted and customised hat!! Eeeep!

There is a GREAT post about this one over here!
