Design and create wearable art of my Din� life and southwest style of varies nation into shirts, jackets, traditional attire and accessories. With bold designs of landscape,geometric rug designs and animal motifs. Sample the Din� Style Cape is inspired of my grandmother�s weaving as I hand cut each bold design apply to flannel wool and appliqu� the edge with a black,silver and white variegated silk thread with a pop of Turquoise for protection. With the amount of fabric to work with its my canvas the thread is the paint. As the Cape is completed in to wearable art a one size fit all. All the fabric is of Cotton, Satin,Flannel Wool, Trade cloth , velvet, posh lining and canvas. I cut the fabric and design into Native Style Garments or Accessories.I incorporate in a bold contrast of my photography onto fabric transfer to garments.I create in my humble studio with home model sewing machine,serger,cutting table and limited stock of fabrics to create .
