Does this really even need a title?because it's yet another dress!

click on photos to enlarge She loved her garden, she loved all things that bloomed under her tender care. Wearing her well-worn straw hat and floral gardening gloves she'd hum to herself as she turned the earth over, planted the seeds and carefully watered them from her favorite watering can. There was no more satisfaction for her than watching as the first buds would begin to grow towards the sun. Vegetables, flowers,shrubbery,trees and above all...... love.....that's what the Earth Mother grew in her garden.

vinyl measuring tape and tin that holds the pins are over 30 years old and
have been well used


Awaiting a design....awaiting the choosing of papery "fabric" , the draping, the cutting, the gluing and pinning. Ribbons and trims and ephemera making each element come alive, couture made from the least likely bits. A stretch of the imagination blending fashion and art and personalities attached to the "wearer". Time flies by. "This could work" muttered as drawers and cupboards are searched - "perhaps even this" as a long forgotten item is uncovered. Nothing is done over and over as each design comes forth one at a time....delighting and challenging. Could this be the start of something?
