EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE DAILEY NEWS!!!!!

So many of you have commented on the header of my blog of the ladies in newspaper dresses. It was " an evening At the Smiths" and lord knows how many cocktails they had while creating their dresses, but I DO know they had fun!
So, here's what I am proposing! Create a dress out of newspapers! Creation may be life size or for a paper doll. Evening appropriate pants and top are acceptable. Take a picture of your creation (on you or a paper doll), post to your blog with a link to this post and leave a comment here!
I put the pic of my mom on my side bar with link to this post. Feel free to use the picture below if you wish!
There will be 1 design chosen and the creator will win a special prize! Gentleman designers welcome too!!!
Special guest judge, Rice Zachery-Freeman has agreed to view the entries and select the winner. Rice is a well known writer of articles re artists and their work published in various magazines at Somerset Studio Publications and other art magazines!

Rice's books!

    I remember when they used to make elaborate costumes out of crepe paper (when it could be sewqn on the machine!) and I also recall seeing similar photos of ladies obviously at a party, dresssed in their *newspapery* finest!
    Sadly, whateverr papers I get go right into the birds cages.....
    I guess I'll just comment and be a party pooper!
