Upcycled...Re-Purposed....Recycled....

Alternative Wedding Dresses........

The word recycle is becoming such an everyday term in today’s society. In the art world terms like upcycle and repurpose are giving the word recycle new meaning. With a touch of creativity giving a discarded item of clothing a new purpose is allowing the world of art and design to branch into beautiful original one of kind designs. It is about creating Wearable Art …..another form of art and a cool way to recycle.

I love giving old things a new life with a new look. Here are a few of my OOAK designs. I imagine them as alternative
wedding dresses for the bride who wants something just alittle different or a one of a kind design. Available through my shop, please stop by for a visit. http://ww.mexisoul.etsy.com
