This was my first entry to a wearable arts competition. I didn't really know what 'wearable arts' was at the time, so I sewed together all my teabag ink paintings, to create a garment I could wear. It is beautiful to wear, light and ethereal. It came runner-up to grand prize. I fell in love with art to wear, it has art, movement, sound, and form. It is multidimensional, and inspirational.
