A week ago Rice Freeman-Zachery sent me a lime green dyed hooded soft yummy sweatshirt. She has been transforming clothes and is the Maven of the "Art Journal" skirt or as I like to call it taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. As you probably know I get inspired by other peoples work. One of her ongoing questions is "What inspires you?". Well everything inspires me. Just waking up in the morning and seeing a beautiful sunrise makes me marvel at the vast variation of each days color pallet. I love color from the softest pastels in the morning sky to the vibrant bling of Mexican Folk Art.
Well, back to the sweatshirt. Since Rice spills out her soul with words as she Journals on her clothes I've decided to create a backdrop to allow her words to meander through vines and leaves that will cascade over the shoulder, spray across the hood and then fall down the back. I plan on cutting off the cuffs and replacing them with a print fabric. Not sure whether to keep the band at the bottom or replace it. Guess I'll just wait and see.
