I have been commissioned to make a digitally printed dress inspired by the iconic Our Lady of Guadalupe. I am especially excited about this project because I have a special devotion to Mary and was enthused to create my own vision her.
My depiction retains the colorful texture of the Mexican style while adding my own style. I used a combination of line drawing, water color reprinted on an acrylic painting of my mother's, with some Photoshop editing to create this collage of layers.

I am thinking this will be on the top layer of either organza or chiffon, with another layer in habotai below with various roses scattered around Mary. At the hem will be the prayer:
Immaculate and Perpetual Virgin of Guadalupe, You left Your Image on the cloak of Juan Diego, using a humble vessel to bring Your Grace into the world. Imprint on our hearts the virtue of humility, dear Mother, and use us to bring others to You.
Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us.
Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us.
