Finally figured out my strap dilemma. These epaulets work well for the warrior theme of ‘Joan of Art’. Can’t wait to add the watercolor pieces. Have to wait for my model fitting😔 on to shin guards. Looking forward to the Recycled Runway fundraiser for @theartscouncilsfl May 5. #recycled #runway#warrior #art#watercolor #homage #mom#artist #armor #paper#jumprings #paperplate #coozie #buttons#dress#

Light behind transforms this stitched handkerchief. Skeletal. And it all changes when laying down. Love the chameleon nature light provides#stitch #slowstitching #embroidery #icedye #hankerchief #therapy #chaos#color #remnants

Getting back to recycled runway dress. Two front images and one of the cape. Starting to arrange watercolor pieces before glued. So happy to upcycle my mom’s beautiful work. #recycledrunway #recycledfashion #dress#cape#armor#watercolor #textiledesign #theartscouncilofhesouthenfingerlakes #fundraising

Recycled Runway dress progress. I hope it’s progress. Creating the ‘canvas’ for all the little watercolor tiles. Hope this works. #recycledrunway #paper#jumprings #dress#textile #armorsuit #armor#joanofarc #textileart #creatingtextiles #
