Put an Owl on it...

Ok, Ok...I am an artist.  It took me a very long time to utter those words with comfort just to hear 'what do you do?' Answer is that simply depends on the passion of the day/week/month.

Lately, the subtitle is a 'deconstructor/reconstructor'.  It fits the multiple media I work in.  Peek in my studio and notice a collection of items from people's past waiting for future use (and the bins are loaded!) and sometimes end up re-purposed to good looking, whimsical or even functionally satisfying.

The fabric for this little skirt awaited an idea to bring it to a hanger as a finished fashion item.  In my town you can't help but notice the 'put a bird on it' theme in many of the boutiques, so I jumped on board with an old favorite, a spotted owl.

I decided to send this one out for sale and if you like it please consider shopping at Frock, on NE Alberta St.  The kind shop keeper is a sweetheart and has a very pleasing eye for cool trends and I'm sure there's a more up to date name for it but I'll call it 'urban casual' style.

I had fun creating this (size 6) skirt and pretty sure my owl design will show up on more garments soon!
