Maybe it's just me, but lately I have run into people who don't really get that textiles are art. Or, they believe textiles just aren't as artistic as, say, a painting or pottery.
Now, I understand first that not all people are artistic at the heart. I also understand that not all artists use the same media, this is obvious. When a painter sees a blank canvas, I'm pretty sure they have a vivid picture in their mind as to what belongs on it, and what message they long to convey. When a potter throws pot, they begin to shape and form sometimes before they even know what they're shaping it into. That's pretty sweet.
It's the same concept with me when I see an extraordinary bolt of fabric. Different lines, seams, patterns begin running through my mind until something clicks. Ask anybody who has been shopping with me if I touch, weigh, and sometimes even smell every piece of clothing or yard of fabric that I consider. Yes, it may be slightly funny at times, but it's where my art begins.

About Me
- Andrea
- My passion of designing wedding gowns is something that's developed for me over the last five years or so. I'll spare you the story, but not my heart. After my little selfish bubble was popped I was shown that my talents as a business owner and fashion designer could be used for the good. My heart is that there are people in the world that need assistance (not changing), and I want to help them in whatever way that I can. I know that through my business I can find a way to get involved with humanitarian efforts across the globe. This blog is to tell the journey, to show you the people and organizations I meet. Day one might be boring. Year 2 might finally get a little more interesting. By the end of my life I hope to have made an impact, even if it's just a dent.
