Sidetracked by a hat but at least the flowers I stole from St. Joseph Cemetery got washed

I steal flowers from the cemetery #fiberart  #louisiana #art #kathrynusher #shreveport
I was sooo jealous when I saw the beautiful fabrics Melanie harvested from a beach near New York City. But then I remembered the cemetery flowers I like to steal. I like the ones that are soft and frayed. Ones that have been run over by the lawn mower and aged by the sun. So I pulled out a bunch and washed them. I'm gonna use them on my Rockstar Boro garment.

Day 6 of December and I haven't sewed a stitch on that project. But I have a good excuse. I'm still gathering fabric and looking at boro photos. And I'm working on an Old Navy hat I purchased second hand from Goodwill. It was too plain.
Adding to the Old Navy hat. #fiberart #louisiana #art #kathrynusher #shreveport Catching beading fever and hell no I didn't make the beads if Duchamp could use a urinal and call it original art I'll use already made beads. #shreveport #kathrynusher #art #louisiana #fiberart Beading 26 on an Old Navy Cotton knit hat from Goodwill #shreveport #kathrynusher #art #louisiana #fiberart
I added the beads after seeing what Nadine Charity's been making and posting on her blog. Swell, huh? The shredded strips of fabric are just something I like to add to most of my hats. It's like fringe with a purpose... it keeps me head warm.
