The shirt I am wearing is made from red mattress ticking. I found it at the antique mall in Austin. I think it is a 1960's Weatern shirt. I just love it.

I want these pieces to be expressive full of whimsy and energy so I have intentional left them what I call unfinished, unpolished. The red wax is armature peaking thru.
