This technique evolved from a technique I was using to create vessel forms. I swore I wouldn't try to make wearables to sell because of the 'size, sex and season' issues (who wears it when and how big or small are they?). But I couldn't resist. So now I make them in one adaptable size, for any gender out of fabrics that excite me and may or may not coincide with a particular season.
