Not My Jacket

Not My Jacket This is not your cousin's denim jacket.

The materials used in these works are almost entirely rescued and repurposed to create an art garment that is unique from foundation to finish.

I suspect this will be a garment I come to sincerely regret starting, but…LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTIES!

I don’t know whose jacket these aren’t going to be, but I’m looking forward to finding out!
Any suggestions?

For context, the other two photos are Not Mick Jagger’s Jacket (because a rolling stone gathers no moss) and Not Vincent Van Gough’s Jacket (because, not enough yellow)

I have no idea who these wandering Boy Scout badges don’t belong to!

Care labels, though.
I hate writing them.
I’m never sure what the baseline of common sense is.
On a hand made garment, can “don’t boil, shred or macerate” go without saying?

Tell me about your favourite/least favourite/most confusing care label experiences?

This little guy is getting some attention today.

I say little, but he’s easily as big as my head.
I wonder if I think he’s male because, blue for boys, or subliminally because male birds are always the pretty ones?

Remind me to tell you about that one time I bought several 1kg buckets of glitter.
I don’t know what you do with that many handfuls of glitter. Just owning them was pretty great.

Monday morning. Time to get those ducks lined up, I guess?

Go on, pitch me names of people who famously always have their ducks in a row.
Because this is definitely not going to be their jacket!

My latest project is a commission, so you won’t get to see much of it. This emerald green velvet, though!

(So much cutting, so much fuzzy dust)
