Earlier in 2011, I posted a "teaser" on my blog (6/21/11: What's She Up To Now?) in which I showed examples of the appliques I had made and hinted how I'd be using them.One of the photos I posted back then showed leaves; the first two photos in this current post show how I've used them.
Now that we are on the eve of the holiday arts and crafts fair season, I can take the wraps off my activities as my first Wearable Art Show is this Saturday, November 5.
As the photos show, I'll be offering a variety of tunics, wraps and hostess pinnies which fall within the category of wearable art. All are unqiue, one-of-a-kind pieces made by hand. Many are also environmentally-friendly, as they are made using remnants from my clothing manufacture and smaller pieces of fabric or trim that would otherwise have gone to waste.
I am also introducing a line of clothing items - also one-of-a-kind - made using woven fabric and notions. I refer to this as Maypole Weaving (TM) as it reminds me of the Maypole and the ribbon weaving which resulted, from the maypole dancing we did at school when I was younger.The November 5 show is at:
Burlington Art Centre
1333 Lakeshore Road
Burlington, ON L7S 1A9
(near Brock Street and Lakeshore Road)
Access from the QEW via North Shore Boulevard.
Phone: 905-632-7796
As this event is a fund-raiser for the BAC, there is a $5 admission fee.
I'll post an update about my next Wearable Art show later in November.
