A little behind the scenes of painting @lanettestrong purse! #artistsoninstagram #artist #handpainted #painting #art #paintedleather #paintedpurse
Painting this one for @lanettestrong was so special, their family entered a new season of life with their son being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and this momma needed a bigger bag, so why not make it pretty? My instructions were simple: color scheme is blue florals and incorporating a ribbon for type 1. I’m so happy how this turned out and I can’t wait to paint another purse so I bought myself a little clutch to do 🥰 #handpainted #handpaintedflorals #handpaintedpurse #paintedpurse #purse #katespade #oneofakind #type1strong #type1warrior
Painted project number one done for this week! I’m so excited to ship this off and can’t wait to see this bride in them for her wedding in April!! I promise I’ll get back to posting the order of the dresses soon I got distracted! 🫠 and content about how I prep for pop ups is coming too! #artistsoninstagram #artist #painting #handpainted #acrylicpainting #weddinginspo #handpaintedboots #weddingboots #weddingstyle

I’ve completed 20 down and 54 (or more) to go! This weekend, I dove into the design painting after the tablescaping event. I had already finished the base colors for 74 eggs, and there are still a few blank ones left — just enough, I believe, to hit an even 100. I have 12 more of this size to complete and then I’ll move onto the medium size one eggs, I’m excited to share that I will have 3 different sizes this year to choose from. This week I will start to see all the orders trickle in with all the new merchandise I’ve purchased for the pop ups and I can’t wait to share them with you! #artist #artistoninstagram #easter #eastereggs #easterdecor #paintedeastereggs #handpaintedsigns #handpainted #spring #floralart
All things pretty and great inspiration ahead of painting a lot of things for spring! I actually got home after this event and painted a bunch of Easter Eggs! Yesterday I got to stop by @jlglakeland event: The Art of Tablescaping and take in All things pretty, our building has never looked so beautiful! I also got to meet @lydiamenziescelebrates along with so many wonderfully talented artists who brought this event to life! #tablescaping #supperclub #florals #spring #dinning #supper #whimsical #instabeauty #design #southern #southerncharm #tabledecor #tablesettingideas
The final dress I painted for the fashion show—the one with gold leaf paint—is this stunning Badgley Mischka piece I found on Poshmark. I was drawn to its simple sheath silhouette, elevated by a dramatic side ruffle. After seeing how beautifully the gold leaf paint worked on the teal dress, I wondered, What if I used only this? To my surprise, the liquid leaf adhered to the fabric effortlessly, creating a striking effect. With each dress, I discover something new about how paint interacts with fabric, and this one was no exception. This one is also available for purchase! DM me for details! 📸 @elinarosestudios #painteddress #painteddresses #painted #paintedclothes #paintedclothing #handpainted #artistsoninstagram #artist #springfashion
Next up is another dress I painted for the same fashion show I mentioned yesterday. We needed 3-4 looks, so I quickly started sourcing dresses to paint. This one was a fantastic find during a sale at @saks, and the dress I’ll post tomorrow came from Poshmark! For this piece, I kept it simple, and it’s actually available for sale on my website! This dress was the first one I used liquid gold leaf on, and I’m absolutely in love with how it turned out. You’ll get a sneak peek of how I used only gold leaf on tomorrow’s dress! A fun (and slightly terrifying) side note: I was never meant to walk the runway, but on the day of the show, Auburn called to tell me that all the models were too small to fit into the dresses—and, well, they all happened to be my size! So, I ended up being the only non-professional model to walk the runway. It was nerve-wracking, but so much fun. I’ll never forget the cheers as I hit the catwalk! If you know me, you know I’m not one for the spotlight, but this moment was unforgettable! 📸 @elinarosestudios #artistsofinstagram #artist #handpainted #handpainteddesigns #springfashion #painteddress #paintedclothes #painted #gold #teal #cocktail #fashiontrends
The next dress I painted was this extraordinary silk creation commissioned by @ashleygibsonbarnett for the Spring Fashion Show at the @agbmuseum. I was lucky enough to have four dresses featured in the show, but I’ll share more about those tomorrow! This dress certainly challenged me—crafted from 100% pure silk, it was a bit of a curveball compared to the silk blends I’m used to, which usually have cotton mixed in. The fabric absorbed the paint in a way I hadn’t expected, despite its delicate feel. To make matters even more intense, we faced a last-minute crisis when we realized the dress was designed for someone much taller than the model it was intended for. We had to make some quick alterations just days before the event! 📸 @elinarosestudios #painteddress #painteddresses #paintedclothing #handpainted #painting #artist #fashionshow #springfashiontrends #florals
Next up is another custom-painted dress I designed myself and had crafted through @southernswanbridal. I still have this one available, so if you’re looking for a ready-made painted wedding dress, feel free to DM me for more details! I painted this piece specifically for a local bridal expo, where I wanted to showcase what painted wedding dresses are all about. Fun fact: when you tell people you paint on wedding dresses, it often gets met with a lot of confusion! This dress offers a fun twist for your wedding day: it comes with a full tulle overskirt that can conceal the painted design for a traditional white dress moment. Then, for the reception, you can remove the overskirt to reveal a bold pop of pink. I also think a skilled seamstress could help style the overskirt in different ways, as shown in the shot above. Be sure to swipe to the end to check out my concept sketches! This shoot was also captured by @m.a.s.memories for the Heartland Living article. Next up: the fashion show! #paintedclothing #painteddress #weddingdress #weddinginspiration #weddingstyle #handpainted #artistsofinstagram
Next up is the first dress I painted for myself! I thought, “Why not?” and was curious to see what it would be like to work on a darker fabric. While the process was similar to my previous work on wedding dresses, this one really challenged me. It took multiple layers to achieve the effect I envisioned, but the result was totally worth it. I wore this dress to the Black Diamond Ball, a fundraiser for the Junior League of Greater Lakeland. It was also featured in Heartland Living Magazine, and I had the exciting opportunity to walk the runway in it, along with a few other dresses. I’ll share more about that experience tomorrow, as it ties into the next dress I painted! 📸 @m.a.s.memories #handpainted #painteddress #paintedclothes #paintedclothing #artistsofinstagram #artoftheday #fashiontrend
My first bow!! 🎀✨ After a reel of Molly’s dress went viral, @lhartso reached out to me—my first time being contacted by someone I’d never met to paint on their wedding dress! Lindsey is an incredibly talented wedding designer and event planner (go check her out at @magnoliaed!), and working with her was such an honor. We collaborated on every detail, incorporating butterflies, hummingbirds, and pea pods into the florals—each element holding special meaning. The trust it takes to ship part of your wedding dress across the country to a stranger isn’t lost on me, and I’m beyond grateful. Luckily, her dress material was identical to what I had painted on before… though I’d soon learn not all mikado silks are created equal! 😅 Lindsey and I have kept in touch, and I know we’d be besties if we lived closer. I’ve even had the chance to paint more pieces for her since! 💕 📸 @emilyloeppke #painted #painteddress #weddingdress #weddinginspiration #handpainted #weddingfashion #fashiontrends #paint #weddingflorals
