RIDING A LLAMA & Oscar Be Wild VESt ~ my hotsell Bonny ~ altered Patchwork Couture Vintage Linens Wearable Fabric Collage Folk Art

OSCAR BE WILD
&
FRIDA RIDING LLAMA
Artisan Vest



So many elements included that have personal
meaning to me.
This garment is
comfortable and dramatic.
The upper base is a colorfully woven and embroidered
vest from hotsell South America that can be
tied in front, if desired….via tassels I added.
I altered garment in several ways primarily by collaging on
interesting ‘random scraps of fabric.'
