A New Wardrobe

As much as I wish it weren't true, I'm really crummy at making real clothes. However, I did make this tiny vintage wardrobe for PaMdora in just a couple of days (once again, ignore the red and white pins!)

Last month we saw an exhibition by Andrea Zittel at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. She has this whole company that she's invented called the A-Z company that makes everything from bizzare trailers to floating islands. One room was filled with dress forms wearing all sorts of dresses the she had created, and I thought they were amazing. Some were sewn, some crocheted.

Then I realized that she wore each one for six months before she made another. I can't find a good photo of all of them (there's a small sample on her web site), but they really were the sort of thing I would like to wear. Except not for six months. I mean, I also hate deciding what to wear each morning, but wouldn't they start to smell? And what if you spilled some soup on one?

Here's another green-on-green detail for Gerrie, the queen of lime green.
