IT'S RAINING CHLOE!!!



I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A DRAWING OF THIS KARL LAGERFELD DESIGNED CHLOE DRESS DOWN ON PAPER FOR LITERALLY YEARS. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT TOOK ME SO LONG. I KEPT TRYING TO THINK OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO ADD MY OWN FLAVOR TO THE THING, AND I'D DRAW SOME IDEAS, AND NOT LIKE THEM, AND PUT IT AWAY FOR LATER. I DID ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT "FINAL" PIECES OF THIS DRESS (ALWAYS WITH THE GIRL AS A PLUMBER, IT SEEMED THE BEST ROUTE) BEFORE I DID THIS ONE AND FINALLY LIKED IT ENOUGH TO TOTALLY COMPLETE IT.

I ALSO KEPT TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO SHOW THE BEADED WATER-DROPS LIKE THEY APPEARED ON THE ACTUAL DRESS. IN THE END I WENT BACK TO MY GOOD OL' LETRA-TONE DOTS! GOD BLESS MR. LETRA-TONE FOR INVENTING PRINTED DOTS ON TAPE! WHAT WOULD I DO WITH OUT THEM!!? (*sigh*)
