Call for Dresses: Submit Your Favorite Dress to Be Painted!

9/30/2013

That's right, I need more dresses. But not just any dresses--your dresses!!!! To paint (not to wear), as a part of my "A Dress a Day" Daily Painting Challenge. 

What am I talking about? Well, I've painted *almost* all of my own dresses, I've painted many of my friend Sara's dresses, and now, I want to get my readers involved. 

However, I can't go crazy with this. I can't paint all of your dresses (although I'd love to!), so instead, I am seeking submissions for 10 reader dresses, to finish out the challenge. 

Here's how it's going to work:

  1. For dresses #90-100 (the last 10!), I'm going to be painting 10 select reader dresses. Each reader whose dress I select and paint will be given a *free* print of their dress painting and another dress print of their choice. 
  2. To submit a dress, email a picture of your dress to marycatherine@starrstruckblog.com with the subject line "Dress Submission" by Friday, 10/11. Include any stories or notes about why your dress is special, the event you wore it to, or why it's worth painting. The picture of your dress can be an image of you wearing the dress, a link to the dress on a website, or a picture of the dress on a hanger. Just make sure that the entire dress is visible!
  3. If your dress is selected, I'll ask for a quality photograph of the dress on a hanger to paint it from. More details on how to take this picture will be sent to all who are selected. 
  4. Other notes: I'm looking for interesting patterns, colors, silhouettes, and/or stories. Basic little black dresses probably won't get picked (sorry!), as I'm kind of sick of painting them (and still have a couple of my own black dresses that I can paint if I want to...). Also, no wedding dresses please, as they're too emotional and involved for this daily project! Maybe I'll tackle wedding dresses next time around ;)
  5. If it gets too hard for me to make the selections on my own, I may open voting up to you all, my readers. More to come if it gets to that point...

I SO look forward to receiving your dress submissions! Feel free to post any questions to comments :)

And as always, thank you for joining me on this creative journey. I've been having a blast thus far and can't wait to paint your favorite garments!
