WEARABLE ARTS - Update!

I am thrilled to report that I have had a garment accepted for this year's WOW Wearable Arts Show - called "Imperiana", this creation will feature in the Weta Workshop 'Baroque/Rococo Period' section.

This will be my seventh garment over five WOW shows, since 2011. 

I feel very privileged and am looking forward to seeing "Imperiana" in action on the WOW stage!

This year's show is sure to be as spectacular as ever.

Check my earlier Wearable Arts post (March) - it is a featured post - see panel on the right.  This post gives a good overview of WOW and my wearable arts journey.

Alas I can't share any photos of "Imperiana" until after the show, but here are photos of my two garments that did not get selected:

• Guggintime (NY meets Bilbao, straight lines become curves) - with seed lights
• Taziri (Berber inspired, following a visit to Atlas mountains in Morocco)

COINCIDENCE and OBSERVANCE

Do you find that, as soon as you learn about something new, it is suddenly everywhere in your life but hadn’t been up till then? 

That’s COINCIDENCE

Or is it that, now you know about this new thing, you are just noticing it when it comes into your world?

That’s OBSERVANCE

Either way, whether you consider it Coincidence or Observance, you’ve learnt something new and interesting and it is now in your world - and the fact you are thinking about it emphasises the importance and wonder of learning! 

Is it COINCIDENCE or is it OBSERVANCE?
