The possibilities are really limitless with art and especially with fabric painting! When I started painting on clothes I never really pictured myself painting on this particular gear, someone had this "weird" idea and I agreed to do it.

It's a memorial painting in honour of her late mother to be worn as an accessory to an African attire just as I have done here. What a beautiful thought!

This beautiful piece was done with acrylic paint, I started by layering a thick paste of browns and blacks on what looks like the outlined silhouette. I then did a sketch with a tiny brush before building on it slowly.

I worked on this for about 8 hours before arriving at the final result.

What do you think?
