Cold and Hot

Yesterday I sewed a vest in a hot red passionate fabric that I had woven a while back.

Red Passion Vest

I love the richness of this red color with black and white along with a few other colors subtly mingled in with it.

Today I switched to a cooler color palette and made another vest with fabric in blue and black that has bits of green, silver and white.   The silver has a really nice sparkle.

Ice Crystal Vest

 This vest is versatile in that it can be worn with  the lapels open or with both closed or even with just one open as shown above.  Truthfully, I am sure there are other possible variations.  With both closed, a nice pin or brooch would really add a sophisticated  look.  I think this would look great worn with a a white shell under it and a dark skirt or pants and heels.  It could be dressed up very simply.  But it could also be very stylish for a casual workday with jeans and a t-shirt.

I have had a great time sewing up some of my handwoven fabric to make garments. I am not sure which ones will be displayed in the gallery show.  I probably have more pieces of art, wall hanging and clothing than they will need.
Who says "less is more?"  I say "More is more."  (Of course I errrr..... acquired that line from Dolly Parton. )
I hope you are having a wonderful week.
