The Derelict Debutante

I try to bestow memory, historical influence, and imagination into my work. I craft intuitively, absorbed in the process, and compelled to find the link between both craft and design. My desire is to add beauty and mystery to a world that has lost some of its propriety, wonder and innocence. I hope an audience will view my work with curiosity, recognizing my need and desire to revisit the past and that each piece will become a vestige of former elegance, the real and the imaginary coalesced.

One is the Loneliest Number

The first bonnet is complete. I cannot say that I am completely happy with it. Trying to complete them with only items on hand may prove harder than I thought. Creating fabric from sewing trims together will only work for so many. So I may have to purchase a few items here and there - construction items only. ie. matching thread, matching biased tape, etc. It is a beginning and I am sure each will approve upon the last.
