Art Collage Dress

a project inspired by the arrival of spring

the little birdies...the blossoms on our cherry tree

...the buds in my garden

o

I assembled this dress from repurposed fabric and embellishments.

Fabrics and trims have been coffee stained for a vintage look.

Dress is embellished with my favorites...nests, hearts and

found goodies...

Front collage includes needle felted nest with beads,

a heart assembled from a tea bag,

lots of fibers, beads, buttons and fabric layering for an ethereal feel...

"Dreams" was created from hand sewn chenille ribbon

the words "fiber of life" refer to all the tiny bits that go

into weaving a nest...

On the back a fabric collage...

life begins...

a fresh slate for dreams and possibilities

o

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud

was more painful than the risk it took to blossom"
