Distinct But Not Distant

Twin Shirts… The Same Design: One in Black, One in White.

Twin Shirts… Both Re-Worked, Revised, and Re-Visited.

Twin Shirts…  Now Reminiscent but Each Unique and Distinct.

And so it is with us… the same yet distinct.  We may look different, we may act different but, ultimately, we too are from the same cloth and origin.

Exhibit A: Noir

Process: I picked up the same exact shirts from a thrift store– one in black, one in white.  I cut the collar off the white shirt and sewed it over the collar of the black shirt.  Then I replaced the buttons on the black shirt with the buttons from the white shirt.  (It’s like a family hand-me-down.)

Model: Moi … via the 10 Second Canon Timer.

Exhibit B: Blanche

Process:  Well, Blanche was feeling pretty naked since I stripped so much off of her to decorate Noir.  So to boost her esteem a bit, I gave her festive green buttons.  And assured her that she didn’t really need a collar anyway.

Model: Moi, encore.

p.s. This post is dedicated to my eldest sister, Mindy, who declared it a “Travesty” when I confessed my intention to use these shirts merely for the “fabric.”  Hope you approve of the finished product, Min!
