I’ve got my grandmother’s 96 year-old silk, flapper wedding dress. Parts of the dress are disintegrating and it has a few stains on the front so how to preserve it for future generations? I’ve been experimenting with the idea of painting it in a variety of ways. In this first experiment, I wanted to create an abstract of the crumpled fabric decorated with gorgeous beadwork and lace.
