Screenprinting | "Weaving Dreams" | In-progress sneak peak

Wow, it's been a while.  Finals have begin fully underway, so I've been neglecting my blog, but here's to getting back into the swing of things!

Here's my next screenprinting project in progress.  It's a appropriation assignment (which basically means I need to take something that already exists and merge it with my art), so I have taken a dress by Madeleine Vionnet from 1937 (I'll post an image below) and am using it as my original character's outfit.  
This character is from a story where there is a profession for people who literally weave and control dreams.  It is an image of the main character, Arielle, who begins struggling as dreams begin to infect reality around her, but she is the only one able to see them.  The color choices are to represent the two different types of dreams.  The warm colors represent the dream matter that she still has control over while the deep purple/ pink represents the uncontrollable dreams that are trying to take over her reality.

And here is Vionnet's beautiful gown.
