I personally don't hve the body for the IKE dress, but it is cute. I would be wearing OBama if I don that,but I usually wear buttons b/c that way I can wear whatever I want that fits the occasion and/or weather situation I need at the moment. It is like seasonal things to wear, you are so limited as to when you can wear those things and like wedding/prom outfits I think unless you are willing to recycle them into other pieces or artwork it is a waste of cloth and materials. Wear a button or a hat to express your feelings. One thing you can do is use ecofriendly materials/cloths and when people admire your outfit you can tell them about the environment and how you support it with your choices. Put a tag on that says ask me about my clothes! That would be a conversation piece alone, huh?

What a cool jacket, that discharge on linen is amazing, I would have been too chicken to try it! I am a surface design fiber artist, and every other medium you can imagine, but surface design is my passion. This design on the linen with the dye discharge is great. Congrats on the sucess of the piece. Jan

This is one of the coolest things I have seen since working on my BFA in fiber! I would have never dreamed of needle felting fibers other than wool, I love the effect and my mind started spinning while I was reading the details above, WoW.
