PAPER COUTURE DISPLAY and PAPER HAT MAKING WORKSHOP as part of the Coastal Currents Art Festival September 2011, Hastings & St. Leonards-on-Sea
There is something immensely satisfying about creating fashion in paper ... it is instant, fragile but strangely sturdy at the same time ... your only enemy is the rain.
I once made myself a skirt with photocopies of a young smouldering Mick Jagger for a party ... it lasted the whole evening and even the long walk home ... only bother was to use the loo during the evening as I had to double-sided-stickytape myself in again each time ... well, darlings, no suffering is too small for STATEMENT FASHION!!!
I wonder how Mick Jagger paperknickers would feel .... xxx
i always dream about making real things from paper... but never had that special party to go... one day... looks so good
