I designed this fun eggplant suede Steampunk jacket to wear with all my other eggplant clothing I've made. I was pleased that it looked so well with my olive vest. There are purple elements in the foil that really pop with this jacket. I can't wait to wear my jacket this fall with my Victorian eggplant microsuede skirt. Woo-hoo!

This top was so easy to create! I found a gorgeous tropical print fabric at my local thrift store, but it was in a shirt and skirt set one size too small for me. Well, I didn't want that great tropical print from head to foot anyway, so I got the outfit, brought it home, and cut it up! I chopped off the shirt at the empire line and the skirt after the first ruffle. I stitched up the front of the shirt so that the buttons wouldn't show gaps when I wore it (I did say it was a size too small, after all!), then sewed it to the skirt bottom, gathering as I went. In less than two hours I had a lovely new tropical print tunic. Yea!

Denise FeltI took this challenge in the hopes of expanding my creativity as an artist. Already I'm seeing art in a new light -- as something to do for fun and not just practicality! Archives
