My dresses on show

I never really got a chance to show much of what I've done this year, actually not really anything!
Here are a series of pictures showing an assembly I gave for the Middle School in January and a quick presentation for an art center in May.

The Greek 540 B.C.E. dress

Just a bit more to go on a dress from about 540 B.C.E that I'm making for a classics society art competition. It certainly is not the most historically accurate dress I've made, but goodness have I put a lot of work in to it!

Palmettes are the main motif.
