“About a Caplet”
A Book, and Poetry with a side of Fabric

A Tabard, a Vest, and a Necklace.

A Painted Denim Apron was a collaboration with @abbychristinecreations.

Another addition to my “Exploring Memories” collection. It seems I now have another category, “Go Beyond Fear.” If you’ve been with me a while, you might remember the black denim dress a while back with these very words. 

It took me several draping hours of placing the white Art Expression design in just the right ‘spot’. And I came up with this dress-over-dress piece.

This is the piece that began my Exploring Memories 22/23 collection, the Uniform Dress. My idea was to create all subsequent pieces in this collection, with the option to be worn with this dress.

A tattered quilt top was found. It was not yet quilted. Little rips and stains, which adds to the character. I mended some, and worked around others. But used almost every inch of that quilt top in this vest.

Memories of Hexagons. A 2-part vest, left and right side snapped together. And a vest  with odd shapes and vintage snaps.

“Leftovers” pieces designed with muslin scraps for my series, Exploring Memories.

Sewn in a collage-style, “Don’t Label Me” is created using a collection of vintage clothing labels.

Another dress created using the Celestial Dress pattern. Whole cloth fashion fabric embroidered with all shapes and sizes of dinosaurs.

This ensemble began with the dress. I created the dress using black denim and stencils I cut from freezer paper.

Upcycled Denim sans Coat. My collection of recycled denim is vast. And denim fashion, to me, is timeless. I continue the journey of up-cycling.

These genuine amethyst crystal eyeglass frames are the definition of crystal couture!

I’m excited to show you my new, artful trench coat by the Brooklyn, NY designer KIDSUPER. He is joyful, thoughtful, full energy and all things good.

A few used & vintage t-shirts, and an upcycled skirt is designed.

Denton is the person who convinced me I should share my creations on IG, and offered to take the photos.

A cool pair of custom kicks, to go with my new dress/coat.
