hi everyone
well i finally finished the canvases in between design team work and family etc...
i really enjoyed doing these, they took on a life of their own after the first one i started and the first dress didn't gel with the background how i liked i decided to do 2 , while working away on them the title idea came to mind which of course meant the idea them changed into the 4 canvases one for each fashion capital .
first is of course London


this was one of the first outfits i did which kind of took on its own steam punk ish design , so i ran with it,
here's a close up of the details on the outfits, hard to get the real dimension in the photos, but i hope you can see all the little touches.

next i did Paris which was the background i originally started with...


this one just had to be lace, and soft pinks, i made a tiny hanger for the strappy dress


next i thought what am i going to do for New York and Milan...so i went onto google and looked up the fashion shows for those cities and picked the colours that appeared to be big in each show, though Milan was more green and lavender and mine has changed slightly from the original colours LOL 
New York was all black and red and silver , very swish

 

and just for you sue a close up of his velvet collar which is actually flock :)


and finally we have Milan i think this one is so pretty


iv made another little hanger this time in green, added lots of lace again and some chain and a key to one of the dresses , this one to me has come out like a very feminine steam punk, what do you think?


i have finished them all with a bit of grunging and some corners cut on the cricut.

I'm hoping to get some time next week to do a tutorial for you all on the backgrounds.....
let me know what you think guys,
hugs x
