Altered T-Shirts

OK I'm sloppy. I paint, glue or dye and it always ends up on my shirt. I wipe my wet fingers there too. What to do? I hate to toss them but I feel like it looks so dirty- even after washing. SO!
I got out my paint brush, textile paints and did some free painting.

Simple Fun! And now I don't look sloppy! Did 4 more after these!

Kahlil Gibran

A spiritual awakening is often found and developed in a wilderness. It can be a poem or a parable of a deep forest, a mountain meadow or a cactus-studded desert. The outdoor spirit of plein air refreshes and further enables the indoor studio chapel. Each new creative beginning is a confirmation of the simple truth of taking care. And while it may all appear to be self-indulgent and isolating, every thought, every stroke, every caress of the brush adds a small refreshment of meaning and purpose to our universe. "Work is love made visible."
