Homage to Peter Max...

She got a chance to participate in Ranger's Designer Challenge. Each designer got a dress form and some brand spanking new Ranger products. She pondered how to make best use of the vibrant new colors in the Liquid Pearls and Ice Stickles lines. Then a lightning bolt struck. A fun 60's dress in a Peter Max - esque style! She adores the vibrant, happy, exuberant, sublime work of Peter Max!
She cut the dress form just above the base and fashioned a smaller waisted version (with a head) out of tissue paper, masking tape and plaster gauze. She then painted the dress on with Liquid Pearls, outlining with the fabulous Onyx color. She also accented with the great new Ice Stickles palette. Painting a little each night, it took about 2 weeks to complete. Why not consult with your muse and make a form of your own!

Thank you so much Chia! I had a Peter Max poster in my room growing up and it always filled my heart with happiness.
