Priming and Painting Fashion

I am creating some fashion art pieces.  I am learning a lot - right down to stretching and applying gesso! Who would think applying this "primer" could be so... important! But I'm getting there! Sort of.. anyway it feels good to do what I have wanted to do for so long. Just comes at a time when there are many 'cogs' in the road but you realize - there will always be a few.  So be it. Time to take the time to do you.  So here goes part one.. Opus helped me figure out how to add stretchers!!  :)
