Some will get it.  Some will think I’m crazy.  And you’ll both be right.

About a month back I got an idea for a shirt re-design.  The shirt was plaid, with a bottom ruffle trim, and bold white buttons.  Not too out of the ordinary.  The surprising element was that it came to me in the middle of corporate worship at The Garden.  While listening for God might want to share with me, I was not expecting to get fashion advice.  But I walked outta there with inspiration for this week’s re-purposing project.

Just goes to show you: you can’t limit God.

God cares about the frivolous: God cares about design.

Exhibit A.  Down Home

Model. Ricki

Process. I shortened a long plaid shirt. Hemmed it with creme ruffle and switched out the buttons.  (Sound familiar…?)

Exhibit B. Sphere of Influence

Model. Me, again.

Process. I cut the cool leather ornament off some shoes I snatched from Goodwill (don’t worry, I paid for ‘em) and then super-glued the leather onto the buttons.
