clothing remix!

[monkeyhouse.livejournal.com]

this week, i finished working on my part of a "clothing remix swap". each person who signed up was assigned a partner, then we sent our partners several items of clothing and random items (buttons, ribbons, puzzle pieces, small plastic toys, whatever!). the challenge was to turn them into something new, using ONLY what your partner sent, even the packing material in the box... here's how my part of it turned out.

it was a lot of fun to work on - something totally new for me. i thought it would be difficult to really start cutting up the clothes and modifying them (since i can't seem to do that with my own stuff!), but once i started, i felt free to go with the flow and see where the next cut or bit of sewing would take me.

i'll be interested to see what my partner did with my stuff!
