The Nebula Dress

These last few weeks have been crazy for me. I've been busy completing art projects, starting art projects, working on writing projects, planning my school schedule for next year, and simply trying to keep my head above the regular flow of homework. I have not been getting as much sleep as I would like, and my brain seems to be hyper-active and I'm stressing out to no end. But, two weekends ago I set aside my Saturday night to devote simply to being social and going to a school dance.

So let me just star by saying that I love nebulae.

This craze all started last winter when I stumbled across a Christopher Kane nebula dress in a magazine. But, I was absolutely distraught when I saw the incredibly high price of all of these nebula dresses. So, for the next few months I experimented with painting nebulae. This ranged from nebula backgrounds on paintings to creating a pair of shoes with nebula on them.

So after about a year of this obsession, I decided I would take on trying to paint a dress. I finished it on New Years Eve, and it made its first debut that night. 

 And here's the final product! I used a sponge to layer on the colors, and splattered white paint over the skirt for the stars. Then, I glued small rhinestones onto the skirt as well.

So a couple of weeks later, I went to a school dance with the boy next door and ended up having a really good time. I got many compliments on my dress and its originality. And after more than a year of being obsessed with nebula clothing, I have finally created a dress that I absolutely adore and want to wear everywhere.
