Description This is the original image used in my website header (I'll scrap the header later).

Mixed media using watercolour, acrylic, gouache, marker, pencil crayon and ink. Inspired by fashion plates of 1830s/1840s ball gowns.

The original is postcard sized and was a gift for the couple who sent me the book of fashion plates that inspired ths.
