"eyecandy wearable art" sources for materials in stores, resale shops run by charities, and dump-picking.

My work with wearable art also extends to fresh & funky fashions. Pictured is the "LIVING DOLL" fashion installation premiered at Roslindale Open Studios 2005. The camisole top utilized old clothing and 64 tiny plastic dolls with hair! Each was hand sewn into the front of the bodice one at a time. The ballerina-tulle skirt also features dolls peppering the hem. This piece fits size 6-8 but can be altered. Asking price is $300.00 (cash only!)
