a bit of paint

The Rohan dress is now officially complete! Woo hoo! I just finished painting the trim. I love the finished look and it was lots of fun to do. As I mentioned before it was very easy but I took some progress pics anyway.

I thought it would be easier to work with the dress on Narcissa so I first covered her with a plastic bag. Very stylish, don't you think? *heehee* I took some slightly watered down black fabric paint and brushed it on to the trim with a craft brush. I then rubbed (pretty vigorously) the painted section with a rag until the color was even. I actually did this several times in each section, adding slight layers of color each time. Otherwise too much paint ended up on the velvet underneath and not the trim.

While I was working Nefret discovered that playing with the belt was fun. I took a pic before I took her new toy away. It's horrible that she usually cutest when she is being naughty. :> I’ll get all dolled up and have Bridget take some pics of me in the gown this weekend. She will be home for the holiday so this is perfect timing. :>
