Saturday 12/23 - Mixing Prints
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:41 am
Whether it's Fashion Week in New York or your local malls charity fundraiser . . .
Haute Couture is where it's at.
Join us all month long as we post challenges based on the exclusive and often trend-setting designs that we call Fashion.
A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery.
Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....
There are many ways of mixing prints to look polished and not overwhelming. The key is to stick with only two prints and pair your outfit with basic solid accessories, such as bag, belt, jewelries, or heels. Or you may mix two similar scaled prints – but not two super big ones – as long as you break it up with something solid. Make sure your patterns and textures won’t compete each other.
Your challenge is to create a layout mixing prints of pattern paper as you might in fashion. Will you play it safe and mix only a couple of print patterns or will you go bold and mix several? The choice is yours.
I would also like to see some STITCHING, whether it be real or faux and a TAG.
Here's my layout.
