My Lilac Morgana Dress from Holy Clothing

The Holy Clothing Company sent me an e-mail nudging me to write a review with a photo, but I don't see an icon for uploading a photo, so I thought I'd put the photo here (if you are a musician like I am, this clothing company might be the perfect place to go to find dresses to perform in).

I also use this dress for country and small town art gallery openings. I suppose I'd wear it to a wedding too, but I haven't been invited to one for awhile. 

The photo was taken today! out in a field (yes the goldenrod is in full bloom and I am holding some of it -- just beautiful here this time of year).

It is a quasi-Renaissance dress (long) with a low neckline, velvet, a satin-type of fabric (probably rayon) and the kind of fabric that we typically associate with rayon, all with beautiful embroidery throughout. I am bending over, and I look kind of short here, but I assure you that I'm tall, 5' 10".

The only thing about this company is that the clothes come smelling heavily of dye, so you have to wash it several times to get it out. Mine came with quite a bit more red in it, but calmed down to a nice lilac color.

I found this company via a lot of my fantasy art friends. It would be perfect for selling art at fantasy art conventions too (just add wings!).

fuschia scarf to wear with a jacket

Here is the second edition to my handmade clothing line on Artfire.com. If you haven't been reading along, I started out with an extra long mulberry scarf. As I said in that previous blog post, I have made my own clothes for years and wanted to offer the kinds of clothes I make for myself to the general public.

These photos were taken about a week ago on a windy day. This is how the scarf looks with a black wool blazer jacket:



I decided I'd also try it with a casual Acadia National Park fleece jacket:



Here is what the stitching looks like close up:

Mulberry Scarf, extra long

part of the new handmade clothing line I'll be offering

I have made my own clothing for years, so I thought I'd make some of it available to the public (first time ever).  Working in so many mediums is a result of having to teach a lot of mediums to art students in the public schools (yes, I have a masters degree in art education).

All of the details on length, etc, are available in my online Artfire shop (my online shop of choice as I can have a lot of categories, a lot of mediums and unlimited listings and where artists are treated respectfully).

Two of these are presently available.

Here are smore photos of the extra long mulberry scarf:

And, yes, I am the model, but I hope to have another model for the new line eventually.
