FROM MOTHERLAND TO MAINLAND ARTS AND CLOTH FOR A GOOD CAUSE...

Participating all day in the most awesome fundraiser in art and cloth... and what a better way to help some friends and neighbors struggling after the storm... I am glad that every little bit counts and we were able to assist a few families in need auctioning off some awesome pieces of our talents...

.. now my feet are tired ... off to a hot meal a hot bath and to bed ... I sewed/altered/fitted/wrapped/painted and sketched all.day.long ... now my eyes are tired and I am looking  drawn BUT my heart is so content the feeling is exhilarating... and I forgot to eat ... but I am about to have an awesome warm meal prepared by my awesome DH who can at times be a royal PITA LOL...

Some pics ... because I love art and I love cloth and I love love love Africa as much as I love America my adopted country and Panamá my land of origin... my awesome gowns are gifts from Africa motherland bought to me by my friend Fatu ... whenever she comes back from Africa it is a festivity in cloth ... for me and for others ... what an AWESOME and fulfilling day.... 

Back home at last...

and having a hard time with my wrap on my short cropped hair... so I'm gonna wear it around my waist and play it safe...

Thanks for allowing me to share another goofy thread .. the second one today .... off my soapbox and taking a hot shower and going to bed ... enough picture aw'ing for a day LOL .... I am just so happy we raised enough to help others out ... because we are keepers one of another and every little bit counts ... I am happy I was able to use my goofy talent to help my friends out a little bit...

I know I say this on all your post but I love seeing your work and I also like showing your talent to my mother. I'm always look forward to seeing your post.. Thanks so much for sharing:)

OMG those fabrics are so beautiful.  They make you want to design and sew just for the creativity of it!  Wonderful work. 

Simply Beautiful!
