Description
My major project, using recycled materials -

The top is paper mache sheet music, molded with bird wire, with a piece of fabric backing so you can't feel it.

Then there's the top strap made from an ugly shirt glued to the mache, and the three hat elastic straps around the neck holding it up.

The skirt is made from numerous panels of different materials, starting with three leather straps glued to the plastic part of a blanket bag.

The first white panel though you can't see in the pictures is quilted with squares of different white fabrics on a piece of sheet.

The second panel is a pillow case decorated with strips of flyscreen and curtain netting and the zig zag stuff.. don't know what it's called.

Then at the bottom, and continuing around to the back is gathered mosquito netting. The white panel on the back is another piece of sheet.

And the black is some really stretchy material which purpose was to make it easy to get the dress on and off. And then there's just a black strap around the middle holding both pieces together.

Got all that?

I never sew, I've never attempted doing anything like this before. It proved very frustrating.. I chucked numerous tantrums, but in the end I'm pleased with it. And perhaps I will continue doing similar things.
