DiY - tropicana

this collection is everywhere
(I can't quite stand the zara versions though..)

so I was inspired by 3 things.. see if you somehow relate:

1. I really can't spend money on shopping right now
    but I want something new.
2. I have a nude skirt whose color doesn't suit me 100%
    therefore, I only wore it once or twice and can afford to spice it up
3. the monkeys by prada
    I started with just the monkeys, but the layout kept growing from there



 
front

side
back
tip: symmetry!
I've been professionally doing layouts for a few years now,
and it is definitely a trick - almost any design can look edgier.
how? do one side, and make a photocopy as a stencil!



sorry, I know I wanted to paint again,
and some of you may disregard this as a "DiY" for yourself.
then I suggest a "brush stroke" effect which may be less intimidating.
let's look to lela rose and ysl
or dare to go grand like dolce & gabbana! ;)
tip: brights are in, so let the colors shine
