WIP: "Lillian"

In June, while on an artist's date, I began a journey with an art bra project, I call "Lillian". It is a project I will donate to the Her Cup Runneth Over fundraising auction.

"Lillian" progress so far, in mid-August

I want to create a/some lily/lilies to add to the bra and I have having a hard time deciding what to make the lily from. I could knit or crochet a lily and attach it. I could make a fabric origami lily and attach it. I could make some beaded lilies and attach them.

I start to work on something and then let it go. It doesn't turn out quite the way I had envisioned it. Time to look through my small collection of clothing artefacts. 

While looking, I rediscovered a piece of my Mom's wedding headpiece. And now I have yet another idea to start on. At least I'm making progress.

Right now, I'll work on a pant alteration and finish the edges on some new quilt backing fabric so I can wash (preshrink) it. And, let the ideas percolate.

It is Wednesday, so I'm linking to TN&TN's WIP Wednesday Canadian textile art blogger link-up. If you're looking for ideas, inspiration, or some beauty to add to your day, please consider looking at this fine selection of posts.
