A few others, and I thought it would be fun to create something interesting to wear and go to the "B" Scene at the Blanton Art Measuem in Austin, Tx. We did this for fun and here are the rules: Make something to wear clothing, jewelry, or even shoes and show up at the Blanton June 1st for Vive la France! The catch is it has to be made out of packing material (cardboard boxes, tape, bubble wrap, ect....).  You can paint it, embellish it, on and on but the other stipulation is it still has to be recognisable as packing material. Refashionistas, I'm not leaving you out, if you don't make clothes but recycle them, all the embellishment must be packing material (examples: a silk screened shirt that the print is actually made of packing tape, oragami flowers made from envelopes). Please, keep in mind we want to do this "tastefully". Giving us all a chance to make art, see art, wear art. There are several members of the Blanton Staff that are aware of this but have kept it under wraps. It was a big success and we plan on doing it again in August with a different theme.  Mean while you can check out the pics http://flickr.com/photos/8675738@N04/

Thanks,
Malissa
