Tees & dish towel

 



Top outfit out of two “vintage” tee shirts and the design part a  cut from a tee shirt of her Dad’s when he was about her age now. Mom had cut a bunch of his cycling event tees up for an eventual quilt I think...and while that quilt remained a “concept,” it allowed tee design parts to remain for use such as this above.

Bottom outfit is from dish towel...the ice cream lover gets to wear it “kind of “ on her sleeve.

Sequins sequence


 So now they got on me. PS: It only takes once to remember to line the waistband of a sequin skirt with softer material than sequins!

Color, texture, shine...





    Ok, more of this somewhat tedious exploration...but, doing it to move something inside

Guest Artist -- Envelope Art Company



She has a business plan.  Charging nothing for the product, but having the idea and product execution is a great start. Likely because if one is happy with what they have, the montetary part isn't a high priority for some.    At some point her Dad, uncharcteriscally bored (b/c the outdoors was off limited due to smoke), said he would go ANYWHERE FOR ANYTHING...and after some thought, she smiled sincerely and said:    "Strawberry yogurt." 

First envelope depicts the recent weather issues here..with ramifications of lots of fires and smoke..resticting movement on top of resticted movement.  That had prompted her to find more to do at home, and the joy of using water colors outside in the light rain. (those did get a little splotchy). 







 

Double Knit Dress

 

Purchased this fabric 4+ years ago/ a couple trips ago -- on Opletalova or some side street off Vaclavske Namasti in Prague.  Hard to find fabric one likes pattern and quality-wise, and so that is why I took the trouble to carry it back.  Nice double knit. Still a bit of finishing  that could be done, but keeping some parts raw for now..though did edge stitch.
