As I've mentioned previously, my younger sister Theresa is a very talented seamstress, and has made clothing for her family members for years. I was especially enthralled with some of the ethnic fabrics she was using when making 'dashikis', scarves, vests, skirts, traditional African tam hats/caps and other items of clothing. The colors and patterns were very bright or bold/vivid and I was inspired!! I also LOVE the challenge of making a matching or coordinated patterns. This is another one of those gauzy type fabrics I don't know what they call it for sure. It depicts both Zebras and Tigers in muted tones. The scanner doesn't allow the light penetration that natural light does, so it looks a bit more muted than it actually is pictured here. I adapted a Zebra Design done by Sig and incorporated it into this pin creation. This brooch/lapel pin is done in flat vertical peyote with size 15/0 glass Japanese Hex beads, with the fringe accents being genuine fresh water pearls and goldstone chips. I also have a wide scarf with long white fiber fringe and a genuine leather Ladies High Crown Tam Hat lined with the Zebra/Tiger Fabric. Contact Sunshine if you are interested in any of those items.
