I know creating art should be about the process, but putting it out into the world is important to artists , also.
I have heard of wearable art. The first thing that pops into my head is T-shirts, you know the ones you can purchase everywhere at any event. Then I saw all of the jewelers out on the art festival circuit, and their beautiful works of art were truly art that could be worn. Next, I noticed some ladies at crafty events who were dyeing fabric and making beautiful scarves, tops, and dresses. I realized wearable art can be just about anything! Wearable art comes in all different mediums, so why not paint ON my clothes? I have been accidentally painting on my clothes my whole life. Why not paint on them intentionally? Creative, challenging, fun, inspirational, totally original me and wearable. It just does not get any better!
The first top I tried came out OK. I learned some things to do and not to do. After I finished it I ordered coordinating fabric and made a pair of pants to go with. It feels really incredible to paint, sew clothes and then wear them! How could it get any better?
The purple one is still underway, but I like where this is headed.
