Resin Weekly: Week 34 Happy Anniversary to DOA

So wow Den of Angels is celebrating their 9th year! I've been a member of the forum since only 6/10/10 and have met so many wonderful people, brought home new dolls and gained a wealth of information on all things BJD related. This is however my first year that I decided to participate in their annual anniversary contests, well for one I had no clue about them..lol. Anyway so though my time was crunched with many other projects I was able to complete 3 of the contests. Unfortunetly 1 of them states that I can't post it anywhere else, I'm assuming this is until the judging is done. The other 2 didn't specify so I figured ad this as my weekly blog.

#1 Tailoring: A Multitude of Muslins...the challenge to create a formal outfit out of muslin fabric, there were restrictions on the amount used for each size of doll, also we were not allowed to use any notions unless they were made from the muslin itself. I'll post all my photos of this in a later blog after the contest is over.
#2 Photo Story Contest: 9 lives..the challenge to interpret the theme through the lens of the anniversary theme deconstruction/reconstruction. This I will also have in a separate blog as I'm not able to post the story until after the contest.
#3 Photography Contest: Tableau Vivant...this is the challenge for this blog. Create a living picture of a famous work of art.

I chose one of my favorite artists Gustav Klimt the artwork is "The Virgin". His artwork has always been so colorful and inspiring to me in my fashion designing the different mixtures of shapes, flowers and colors.

Now lets meet the models I chose to recreate this masterpiece. It was a hard choice but only 7 were able to participate. I chose my lightest skinned dolls, though I'm thinking of redoing this at some other point with all my kitty/anthro girls.

On to the fun stuff! Here is my recreation photo and entry into the contest:

Obviously not an exact duplication since I didn't have fabrics to match the original, but keeping with Klimt's work I mix/matched in different textures, colors, prints and added in a few flowers as well. The models from the far left clockwise: Hypoxia, Cricket, Audryme, Nabiya, Ylva, Raynebo and in the center is Syringa.

And more random fun that I had with editing programs and special effects, figured while I had the dolls all posed like this I should take tons of photos.
