The Fabric in the Stone


“In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.” – Michelangelo

This quote from Michelangelo has inspired me for many years, as I derive a great deal of my artistic inspiration from the materials I use to create. Below are some fabrics which I’ll be working with over the next few months, and the projects which I see in them.

Office pants:
Stretch Wool

Dress pants, perhaps cuffed and pegged:
Fancy Wool Blend

Maxi dress:
Cotton Print

Cocktail blouse:
Sueded Silk

Simple tee (or something like that):
Zebra Print Knit

Frilly, girly, tank top:
Sheer Knit
