You know how getting folds in fabric to look right can be challenging? Try rumpled lace. Doing this without getting too tight and losing the freer, more painterly approach I've been cultivating is going to be interesting. I don't know of anyone that works with acrylics quite like this, so like most things I do, I'm out in left field, making shit up as I go.

And the scary part begins... I know this will strike a few people as odd, but the challenge here is not to go hyperreal.

I let this sit for over a week. I poked at it a little this evening mostly out of a kind of guilt over my energy having been used up elsewhere. I'm just about ready to fill in the lace Elizabethan collar.
