Today I’m working on a Frida Kahlo- inspired ensemble created from a mix of found and salvaged textiles. The “te amo” screenprint came from a vintage pillow case that had seen better days. The apron is removable and can be worn separately.

I have a very special person in mind to model this during my May Day spring event.

A friend gave me a box of vintage gloves (thanks Karen) and since the red ones fit me perfectly, I decided to alter them a bit. So easy…….
I cut off the fingers to about an inch, added two vintage green glass buttons and stitched a little black leather trim with bright green thread. Since the seams started to give after I cut them, I used a small amount of glue to adhere them back together. They’re fun to wear and festive too!
