I've been trying to finish up the toile for my evening gown for the Project Inform, Evening of Hope 2011 event. The condoms are cut and painted and the toile is almost done. The straps will be hand beaded (using the tambour technique of course). The rest of the dress will be covered with these circles which were cut out of condoms. It took me a while to figure out how to cut the condoms into shapes but I finally came up with a way to cut six or eight at a time, drastically speeding the process up. After I cut them out, I used a watered down acrylic paint and a dry brush to just give a tiny hint of shine to the condoms. The goal is to get lots of publicity for the dress when I send my model down the runway.
