Instant favourite. This is such a gaudy peacock's spread of colour and shape. I look at the figure closely and I'm pretty sure it's actually a man. In this way, the ornament bordering on camp that comprises the scene is perfect: the figure is performing on a number of levels. I like the Victorian aesthetic here, too, that is, the fusion of the oriental and the gothic. You used pieces of paper or fabric, right? That's awesome. I mean, besides what I said above, it's just beautiful. How big is it?

First prize.

Wow, what an amazing comment! You seem to completly understand the feel I was going for. And I think you're right about it being a man :nod:. I adore Victorian and oriental fashion :). I used kimono patterned origami paper behind the cut out sections. It was fiddley but really fun and I want to use that technique more often. The back sheet of paper is A3 cut to a square.
Thank you for the wonderful comment :D

Thank you!! ^^ The great thing about using paper like this is that I could cut out the section where I wanted it to go and then try putting different patterns and colours behind until I found the one that balanced with the picture best. :)
